Electric vehicles are expected to be essential to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As more of them roll off production lines and onto roads, the world will need two things: more lithium, the key element in the batteries that power them, and carbon-free power to charge those batteries.
Using computational modeling, researchers at Idaho National Laboratory say geothermal power generation may significantly address both challenges.
It’s in the Water
INL systems modeling researcher suggest that lithium from U.S. geothermal plants could meet up to 8% of the world’s demand.
