SLB, the world’s biggest oilfield services provider, said it achieved results at a lithium project that prove it can some day produce the battery metal at a commercial scale with less impact on the environment.
Green Lithium Refining announced on June 4 that it was partnering with EDF on hydrogen supplies for use as a feedstock gas at its lithium refinery at PD Ports in Teesside, Northeast England.
Exxon Mobil Corp. plans to become one of the biggest suppliers of lithium for electric vehicles, marking the oil giant’s first major foray outside of fossil fuels in decades.
Exxon Mobil is in talks with Tesla, Ford Motor Co., Volkswagen and other automakers about supplying them with lithium as the oil giant works to build a business around the crucial battery metal, according to people familiar with the matter.
Green Lithium plan will create over 1,000 jobs in construction of facility, which will boost UK EV manufacturing.
Australia has only one committed hydrogen project out of a vast pipeline of proposals worth A$266 billion ($178 billion), showing the challenge in becoming a major exporter of the zero-carbon but still unproven fuel.
As COP27 draws to a close, the pressure on governments and companies around the world to accelerate the global energy transition away from fossil fuels and into clean energy continues to mount.
Eni has signed a new contract on the Berkine Basin with Sonatrach, while also setting out decarbonisation plans.
Geothermal Engineering, the company behind the UK’s first deep geothermal electricity power plant, has announced record levels of lithium in its waters.
As the curtain falls on the Age of Hydrocarbon Man and the transition towards a more sustainable low carbon future gathers momentum, it is important to recognise the sheer scale of the effort required.
Western governments should consider stockpiling critical battery metals such as cobalt and lithium, the International Energy Agency said, in a stark warning of the geopolitical risks that accompany the green-energy transition.
Tackling Africa’s energy access problems requires those involved to think of the entire system, rather than focusing simply on renewables.
With the greatest and most urgent energy transition in human history clearly accelerating, the quest for new technology solutions across multiple and increasingly diverse low carbon fronts is becoming ever more important.
Lithium miners are bulking up for a booming future when electric cars go mainstream. But speed bumps loom, with prices tumbling on a burst of new production and demand growth slowing in China.
Satellites detecting changes in trees from space could help identify potential "hotspots" of lithium situated underground in Cornwall, researchers have said.
The rise of electric vehicles and the quest to find solutions to energy storage for the renewables industry have created a breeding ground for tech experts to develop battery technologies.
Mineral exploration and production company Kodal has identified "very strong" deposits of Lithium, a crucial ingredient in battery manufacturing.
After more than tripling in price this year, Lithium is no longer that dull commodity we take for granted in our consumer electronics: It's the commodity powering the next, undeniable energy revolution. The tight supply picture emerging as electric cars, mega-batteries and massive energy storage solutions become the cornerstones of our lives could be on the edge of turning new lithium explorers into the next barons.
We've gone electric, and there's no going back at this point. Lithium is our new fuel, but like fossil fuels, the reserves we're currently tapping into are finite—and that's what investors can take to the bank.
Just a few years ago, we would have scoffed at the idea that electric vehicles could be mainstream anytime soon, or that the global appetite for lithium-ion batteries and mass power storage would be so voracious, and so sudden. Today, no one is scoffing, and lithium is being viewed as our new super-mineral that will catapult us firmly into the next century.
