It’s in the water
DOE/Idaho National Laboratory
Electric vehicles are expected to be essential to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As more of them roll off production lines and onto roads, the world will need two things: more lithium, the key element in the batteries that power them, and carbon-free power to charge those batteries. A recent study conducted by INL researchers suggests that lithium from U.S. geothermal plants could meet up to 8% of the world’s demand.
