Energy Storage

Lithium

"an icon so true"

Context

Worldwide energy generation systems are being pushed towards renewables, which don’t come for free: they vary according to weather conditions and require a form of energy storage.

​

Energy storage can be short- or long-term.  Short-term energy storage applications, today and at least in this decade, is (will be) based on Lithium.  Modular (we need it!) long-term energy storage applications will be based on hydrogen (and its derivatives), in compressed gaseous or liquid form.

​

Lithium reigns supreme in the short-term energy storage octagon.  Not found in its elemental form in nature due to its high reactivity, it can be mined from brines (accounting for nearly 70% of global Lithium resources), hard-rock deposits, and clays.

Mining however is just the tip of the iceberg.  A short overlook of Lithium the supply chain can be found here.

​

Alongside the “white gold rush”, another competition is rising to the forefront: the race for "greener Lithium production".
