U.S. Races Towards Lithium Independence with Ambitious Mining Projects

Several countries around the globe are investing heavily in the extraction of lithium to support battery production for electric vehicles (EVs) and utility-scale storage. This has led to the enormous growth of mining projects in lithium hubs, such as the Lithium Triangle in South America. It has also encouraged greater exploration in less prolific areas, as energy companies look to strengthen their supply chains through domestic lithium production. In the U.S., Arkansas is rapidly becoming a major lithium hub, with other lithium states expected…
