Most of the world’s lithium comes from Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Australia and China, but American resources being developed by new entrants into this market have set up the state of Nevada to become the key venue and proving ground for game-changing trade in this everyday mineral.

The interesting thing is before electric cars were popular, no one in the auto industry or mainstream media even questioned where petrol or the metals used in engines are coming from. The reality is these mines are not even in use by the battery industry and they are not Lithium Mines. Graphite and Silicon are used in the Anode.

The challenge now is to implement gigatonne scale reductions across the economy, in power generation, energy efficiency, transport and industry, as well as REDD+ in forested nations. Sectors dependent on food, water, energy or ecosystem services need to scrutinise the resilience and viability of their supply chains. —PwC report.
