Geothermal Energy May Be Key to Lithium Battery Technology Sustainability
In the Salton Sea in California, engineers today are extracting lithium salt from the hot liquids found at depths of 1,220 metres (4,000 feet). These results point to the potential of geothermal plants not only becoming a growing renewable energy source but also a primary means of lithium production contributing to 10% or more of current demand for EV batteries.
