Cornell study examines trade-off between critical metals requirement and transportation decarbonization

Green Car Congress

Higher EV penetration reduces GHG emissions from fuel use regardless of the transportation energy transition, while those from fuel production are more sensitive to energy-sector decarbonization and could reach nearly “net zero” by 2040. —Zhang et al. (a) The research was supported by the National Science Foundation.

International Lithium Association (ILiA) established to be the voice of the global lithium industry

Green Car Congress

Of the many applications for lithium batteries, electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage solutions (ESS) stand out as by far the largest and fastest growing sectors, driven by the world-wide shift from traditional fossil-fueled vehicles towards cleaner forms of transport and energy use.

Climate impact of lithium-ion batteries & how to measure it 

Electric Vehicles India

It has become a cleaner energy storage solution. Lithium-ion battery production. The production of a battery cell will need as many as 20 different materials from around the world. This process consumes 20 per cent of the total energy used for the cell or nearly 16 per cent of the whole battery.

The Dirty Truth of Petrol & Diesel Vehicles

Plug In India

70% of the energy from burning fossil fuel is wasted as heat, while only 30% goes to turn your wheels. Fossil fuel production is an incredibly dirty inefficient process from start to finish. Lithium is a metal that is mined in the deserts of Australia, China, Argentina, and Chile. So what about the lithium used in EV batteries?
