ADEME / IFPEN study examines non-geological risks in the security of lithium supplies based on electrification of global car fleet

Green Car Congress

ADEME, France’s Environment and Energy Management Agency, carried out a study with IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) on the dynamics of lithium supply and demand, based on different scenarios for the electrification of the global car fleet by 2050. Further, vulnerabilities could emerge from increased competition among lithium buyers.

Roskill: predominance of lithium production shifting to mineral vs brine, driven by volume requirements of EVs

Green Car Congress

Brine resources have also grown, the result of significant investment in Argentina, the nation that has seen the greatest exploration activity of the three countries covering the lithium triangle in South America. As a result, in 2018 some two-thirds of lithium mine supply is expected to come from the mineral sector.
