Argonne study compares life cycle emissions of battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide from brines and ores

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have conducted life cycle analyses (LCAs) for battery-grade lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3 ) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH•H 2 O) produced from Chilean brines (Salar de Atacama) and Australian spodumene ores. This information will help us achieve our goal of being carbon neutral by 2030.
