Researchers look at lowering lithium's environmental impacts
Original: Lowering lithium impacts
Nature has published an item titled 'Lowering lithium impacts', focused on reducing the environmental and social costs of lithium extraction. Lithium is central to electric vehicle batteries and grid storage, and mining it consumes large amounts of water and affects local communities. The publication is drawing attention from readers following the clean energy transition.
Why now: Demand for lithium for batteries keeps growing, so efforts to reduce the damage from extracting it are topical.
