Lithium: Powering the Green Revolution
Lithium is a rare metal and in indispensable component of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, one of the safest and most efficient energy storage technologies available today, used in everything from cellphones and power tools to electric cars and industrial-scale energy storage. Lithium is extracted mainly from rock (see Stria’s Pontax Advantage) or from liquid brine in underground aquifers.
