The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the already widely-discussed (albeit without much detail) “Clean Power Plan” proposal, which mandates a national average 30% cut in greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants from 2005 levels by 2030. The estimated cost of Option 2 is between $4.2 GHG reductions.

Today around the world, new renewable power plants are being built that will generate electricity for less cost than fossil-fuel power plants. We are in a good position to transform the global energy system but success will depend on urgent action, as delays will raise the costs of decarbonization. Click to enlarge.

Lithium demand is expected to continue growing with the shift from fossil-fuel powered vehicles to electric vehicles (EV), in addition to the steady growth of lithium-ion batteries for electric devices. Lithium brine operations typically have a much lower cost of production than hard-rock lithium deposits.
