Massive Lithium Lode In Appalachia Could Power 130 Million EVs: USGS
America's worrisome dependency on foreign sources of lithium could become a thing of the past: About 328 years' worth of last year's lithium imports is buried in Appalachia, according to a new analysis published by the US Geological Survey (USGS). That's about 2.3 million metric tons of undiscovered but economically recoverable lithium -- aka "white gold."
“This research shows that the Appalachians contain enough lithium to help meet the nation's growing needs – a major contribution to U.S. mineral security, at a time when global lithium demand is rising rapidly,” said USGS Director Ned Mamula. "The United States was the dominant world producer of lithium three decades ago, and this research highlights the abundant potential to reclaim our mineral independence.” Today, Australia is the top producer, and China in second place -- however, China boasts about 60% of the world's lithium refining ...

China′s Tianqi Lithium to favour domestic salt lakes over Africa amid resource nationalism (SCMP)
|
|
|
Amid geopolitical tensions, China's Tianqi Lithium has decided to skip Africa and will stick to domestic salt lakes to secure the supply of a battery mineral, according to its president Frank Ha Chun-shing.
The move comes as the oil shock stemming from Middle Eastern conflicts is driving up global demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and battery energy storage systems (BESSs).
Lithium, which can be extracted from hard rock and salt flat brines, can be processed into lithium carbonate, a raw......

Lithium-Offensive und KI-Angriff ? Siemens besetzt zwei Zukunftsmärkte gleichzeitig (Ariva)
|
|
|
Mit der Beteiligung an einem milliardenschweren Lithium-Projekt und einem eigenen KI-Agenten für Ingenieure greift Siemens gleich zwei der wichtigsten Industriefelder der kommenden Dekade an. Angst vor Anthropic oder ChatGPT? Bei Siemens nicht. Der Konzern arbeitet weiter an neuen Wachstumsmotoren. Es sind zwei Nachrichten, die auf den ersten Blick wenig miteinander zu tun haben und gerade deshalb ein klares strategisches Muster erkennen lassen. Während sich Siemens mit der Beteiligung am Lithiumprojekt "Lionheart" an der Produktion eines der kritischsten Rohstoffe der ......
