Lithium waste concrete is still more thought experiment than construction material, but the idea captures a real tension: the world is racing to deploy batteries while struggling to manage the waste ...

Standard Lithium (AMEX:SLI) has commissioned the largest continuously operating direct lithium extraction (DLE) unit in North America, taking a significant step towards establishing the company as a ...

Energy Exploration Technologies (EnergyX) has announced "Project Lonestar Lithium," a direct-lithium extraction project that aims to produce up to 25,000 tons of lithium a year from subterranean ...

Companies developing technologies to chemically extract lithium directly from brine promise to obtain the battery raw material in a way that has less environmental impact than the large evaporation ...

Although lithium can be found in hard mineral ores, it's more often extracted from very salty (aka briny) groundwater. The latter task could soon be much quicker and eco-friendlier, thanks to a new ...

South America’s lithium triangle is home to vast evaporation ponds that quietly produce lithium, often called white gold, which powers our phones, electric cars, and batteries. These ponds, fed by ...

You know how EVs and practically anything else that runs on lithium batteries aren't really all that 'green' because producing lithium takes a huge toll on the planet? Scientists at Stanford say ...

Editor’s note: This article is published through the Great Salt Lake Collaborative, a solutions journalism initiative that partners news, education and media organizations to help inform people about ...

New research suggests fracking waste could contain huge amounts of lithium, a main ingredient in batteries. But fracking will never be part of a clean energy future. New research suggests fracking ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- The world’s largest known lithium deposit exists within a vast salt pan called the Salar de Uyuni, which stretches for thousands of square miles atop a high, dry Andean plateau in ...
