While there has long been a lithium industry, it has historically been a small addition to the world\u2019s chemical industry. That is rapidly changing. Lithium prices have hit record highs in the past year, and it looks like they could remain at elevated levels until new mines are developed.<\/p>\n
Lithium is an essential resource in the manufacturing of batteries, electric vehicles (EVs), and other green energy applications; with the fast development of the green energy industry<\/a>, the demand for this metal is growing exponentially.<\/p>\n The development of new technologies that will help to slash carbon emissions and bring global warming under control is essential, and lithium will play a core role in this. For example, large-scale production of rechargeable batteries is essential for electricity to power EVs and to provide stability to electrical grids, rather than burning oil or coal. Lithium is a critical element in this move to electrical storage.<\/p>\n
