Alberta got out of the starting gates in the global critical minerals race Thursday with the opening of the province’s first lithium extraction pilot project. At his company’s site just east of the town of Olds in […]
A deposit of lithium recently discovered along the Nevada-Oregon border may be among the world’s largest, having potentially huge implications for the transition to electric vehicles. Volcanologists and geologists from Lithium Americas Corporation, GNS Science, and […]
It’s an all-too-familiar statement: in a zero-carbon world, certain chemical elements will be as important as oil and gas are to a fossil-fuel-powered world. These include the nickel, lithium and cobalt used in batteries, as […]
Demand for lithium-ion batteries is unprecedented – but is mining the chemical harmful to the environment? Lithium extraction fields in South America have been captured by an aerial photographer in stunning high definition. But while […]
Even with low transition 2.4 ̊ C scenario, minerals and metals needed for lower-carbon technologies face shortages by 2030, consultancy calculates The world is heading for a turbulent period of energy transition where constraints on […]
The Increasing Cost of Lithium Lithium is a metal that has become increasingly important in recent years due to its use in rechargeable batteries for a wide range of applications, including electric vehicles and consumer […]
Just four months after agreeing to give a Chinese consortium led by the lithium-ion battery manufacturer, Contemporary Amperex Technology, control over the development of Bolivia’s lithium deposits, Bolivia’s economy is undergoing a severe crisis. For […]
Over the past dozen years, hundreds of alleged human rights abuses have been committed by over 90 corporations mining minerals critical to the production of clean energy, a U.K.-based human rights organization said in a […]
Just after midnight on April 30, residents near the Salton Sea in Southern California were jolted awake by a magnitude 4.3 earthquake. Dozens of people told the U.S. Geological Survey that they felt the shaking, […]
The energy transition to a low-carbon world is mining-intensive and vulnerable to resource nationalism. To achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, the pivot toward curbing greenhouse gases will spur unprecedented demand for some of the most critical materials […]
