Researchers from the University of Wyoming Carbon Management Institute have stumbled upon what they believe is a “vast, new lithium resource.” Preliminary reports show that the deposit hosts 228,000 tons of lithium, enough to meet all US demand.
Nemaska Lithium's president and CEO, Guy Bourassa, discusses the Whabouchi deposit and the emerging market of lithium hydroxide for the rechargeable battery industry.
Western Lithium’s long-term goal is to become a dominant player in the battery-grade lithium carbonate market; however, in the near-term it’s focused on generating cash flow from producing an essential specialty drilling additive for the oil and gas industry.
The acquisition of Talison Lithium by a privately owned Chinese firm with state-owned affiliates was completed on March 26, giving the Asian powerhouse control over one-third of global lithium supply.
If proven successful, POSCO’s new lithium extraction technology may further lower the cost of production at brine deposits, widening their economic advantage over hard-rock deposits.
Reliable and dynamic energy storage systems are key to making renewable sources of energy viable and to opening up new markets for lithium-based battery systems.
The lack of adequate electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure may be the greatest barrier to the widespread adoption of EVs in the United States.
Over the next decade, significant growth in the global electric vehicle market will translate into equally significant growth in the lithium battery market.
Boeing’s Dreamliner battery woes are casting a dark shadow on both lithium batteries and the electric car industry. However, most electric car makers use lithium-manganese batteries, which are considered much safer in terms of thermal stability.
