There are 2 main types of lithium extraction methods
Hard-rock mines “spodumene” (common in Australia)
Brine evaporation (common in Latin America)
Brine evaporation is a water-intensive process and lithium reserves are often located in drought-prone regions.
1 ton of Li extraction can consume 2+ million litres of water, which can lead to groundwater depletion, soil contamination and other forms of environmental degradation
The Lithium Triangle (Chile, Argentina, Bolivia) has 56% of the world’s known reserves and exhibit medium to high levels of water stress
Local communities push back on lithium mining projects across the globe
