Visual Capitalist and EnergyX explore how direct lithium extraction could disrupt the $90B lithium industry.
In this graphic, we break down where the $400 billion lithium battery industry will generate revenue in 2030.
An accelerated energy transition would propel demand for metals such as graphite, lithium, and nickel.
Lithium-ion batteries are critical for many modern technologies, from smartphones to smart cities. Here's how this critical technology works.
This graphic shows that demand for lithium will outstrip supply by 46%. But direct lithium extraction could be a solution to this problem.
Ten materials, including cobalt, lithium, graphite, and rare earths, are deemed critical by all three.
The cost of electric vehicle batteries can vary based on size and chemical composition. Here are the battery costs of six popular EV models.
This graphic from Wood Mackenzie shows how nickel and lithium mining can significantly impact the environment, depending on the processes used.
Australia and Chile stand out as the largest producers of lithium, accounting for almost 77% of global supply.
Can energy transition metals markets ramp up production to satisfy demand while meeting ever-more stringent ESG requirements?
