Brine operations, mostly in Chile and Argentina, generate about 75% of worldwide production. The mining of lithium-containing ore, which is especially common in Australia, accounts for the rest. The Silver Peak mine—now owned by Albemarle —generates about 1% of the world’s annual production of lithium.

The new organization will have its HQ and secretariat in London, although its first Chairman—international lithium expert Anand Sheth of Titan International Pty Ltd—will continue to be based in Perth, WA, Australia. Traces of this element are present in nearly all minerals, brines, clays and sea water. ppm Li (0.0018%).

Established in 1997, Lake Resources currently develops four lithium brine projects in Argentina. The DLE technique from Lilac Solutions delivers a noticeable reduction in brine, water use and land use as its extraction process includes brine reinjection. million electric vehicles (EVs).

The plan is to extract lithium using a minimally invasive process from the deep waters in geothermal plants of the Upper Rhine Graben—an area that has particularly favorable geological conditions for geothermal heat development. If we consistently use this potential, we could cover a considerable part of the demand in Germany.

By contrast, annual grains can lose five times as much water as perennial crops and 35 times as much nitrate, a valuable plant nutrient that can migrate from fields to pollute drinking water and create dead zones in surface waters.

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.

For example - the process of obtaining lithium from brines can be more sustainable by condensing evaporated water so it can later be returned to the ground. A completely new method is to filter lithium directly out of the brine using membranes, thus avoiding water-intensive evaporation [8].
