The Indonesian president’s visit to Australia could lead to closer co-operation on the energy transition, with Australia supplying lithium for Indonesia’s electric vehicle and battery production.
China is a major investor in Latin America’s renewable energy and critical minerals like lithium, but countries like Chile are also taking steps to secure their own clean energy future.
Lithium extraction in Bolivia poses more than environmental questions: It illustrates how notions about ‘raw materials’ can be at odds with Indigenous relations with the land.
What are the two sides seeking from Albanese’s visit, and what does it mean for Australia-India relations?
Proponents of mining in space often point to the potential benefits for Earth and its people. But this research casts doubt on many of them.
Like Australia, Chile is facing mounting environmental pressures, such as an escalating water crisis. If the constitution is approved in September it’ll deliver profound changes to the country.
Between reuse and recycling, what happens to the batteries of electric vehicles?
For the moment the find in Nigeria simply points to the potential for lithium resource. Full exploration will be necessary.
Europe imports the majority of its lithium, an essential material for the energy transition, yet is home to significant deposits.
Bolivia’s huge lithium reserves are isolated and hard to extract, and global uncertainty over electric vehicles is bad for business.
M. Stanley Whittingham was one of three scientists who won the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work developing lithium-ion batteries – used to power mobile phones, laptops and electric cars.
More electric vehicles and renewable energy means more mining for resources. Unless industry adopts cleaner habits urgently, the environment faces more damage.
We need to think about the raw materials of batteries – where they come from and their environmental cost.
New lithium stores in Cornwall could give the UK a valuable domestic supply of the expensive commodity.
