LITHIUM

Lithium is critical for battery storage, which underpins renewable energy adoption and EV growth. If water-efficient extraction methods reduce environmental costs, it could lower battery prices, accelerating the energy transition. This indirectly affects crypto mining economics if cheaper renewables reduce power costs, but the effect is years away and highly uncertain.

Researchers are exploring methods to extract lithium from underground reservoirs with reduced water usage, driven by surging demand.
