I often talk about the exponential growth of EVs worldwide and a question that frequently comes back is how can the increased demand for mined battery minerals square with a clean, just and healthy world? The new Battery Mineral Loop report from RMI shows that transition from linear extraction to a circular loop, with benefits for our climate, security, equity, health, and wealth IS possible. The report lays out a comprehensive strategy to address the rising demand for battery minerals. Even as battery demand surges, the combined forces of efficiency, innovation, and circularity should drive peak demand for mined minerals within a decade — and may even avoid mineral extraction altogether by 2050.   Read the report: https://lnkd.in/e_sWi2it Daan Walter, Will Atkinson, Sudeshna Mohanty, Kingsmill Bond, Maria Chiara Gullì 

Did you know that almost the entire periodic table of elements can be found in coal, so coal, coal by-products, and coal waste can provide the critical minerals and materials used for batteries, wind turbines, semiconductors, electrolyzers, and other technologies needed to reach the nation’s clean energy goals and provide for our national defense.  See this coal fact sheet and the fact sheet below. https://lnkd.in/d5fua9PM

Can Northern Minerals turn high risk into high reward? Here's what's at stake for the rare earths supplier betting big on global decarbonization. 🚀 Northern Minerals is advancing its Browns Range project in Western Australia, targeting critical rare earths like dysprosium and terbium. Despite weak financials and operational challenges, the company's future hinges on delivering production by 2027 to meet growing global demand for sustainable materials. #RareEarths #GreenEnergy #Decarbonization #MiningNews #Investing #Sustainability #Australia Read the full article on Rare Earth Exchanges: https://lnkd.in/g7QyJAHh

With 30+ years in financial markets and a global perspective, Ernst’s appointment aims to advance sustainable critical minerals development. But questions linger about how his expertise aligns with the sector's unique challenges—will he deliver the innovation the industry demands? #CriticalMinerals #Sustainability #RareEarthElements #GreenTech #Innovation Read the full article on Rare Earth Exchanges: https://lnkd.in/gb7qxCQY

Prime Lithium: Aiming at Sustainable Lithium Production We are on a mission to reshape the future of lithium production with sustainability at the core. Our goal? To produce over 35,000 tonnes per annum of carbon-neutral lithium hydroxide. How do we plan to achieve this? By tapping into our initial resource of 1.8 billion tonnes of brine, boasting an impressive lithium concentration of 97 mg/l (an Inferred Mineral Resource of 0.8mt LCE). But that's just the beginning. We're not stopping there. Through continuous project development efforts, we aim to expand our resource base to over 4.6 billion tonnes of brine. Join us at https://lnkd.in/gzDfxfaH, and together, we can build something big. #PrimeLithium #sustainability #greenfuture #innovation

How can we responsibly secure critical minerals for a greener future? ⛏ 🌏 During Silverado Policy Accelerator's Summit, Peter Bryant of Clareo moderated a panel, "Mineral Rush: Unlocking New Frontiers” with Abigail Hunter of SAFE, Vinay Chawla of the U.S. Department of State, Raef Sully of Lilac Solutions, and Morgan Bazilian of the Payne Institute. The panel speakers shed light on the pressing need for strategic approaches to critical minerals exploration and extraction, emphasizing the imperative of innovation, sustainability, and collaborative efforts to address the dual challenges of energy transition and national security. #SilveradoPolicyAccelerator #WorldontheBrink #SilveradoSummit #CriticalMinerals #NationalSecurity #SupplyChains

W E Q U A N T U M CIRCULAR In The Battery Mineral Loop, RMI lays out a comprehensive strategy to address the rising demand for battery minerals. Battery minerals are not the new oil. Even as battery demand surges, the combined forces of efficiency, innovation, and circularity will drive peak demand for mined minerals within a decade — and may even avoid mineral extraction altogether by 2050. These advancements enable us to transition from linear extraction to a circular loop, with compounding benefits for our climate, security, equity, health, and wealth. #graphenemultivalenmetalionbattery #outofCO2 #directaircsrboncaptureDAC #sourcingourownrawmaterials #solidstate #makinghomes&industryselfsufficient #quantumgreenchemistry #quantumbatteryminrralloop

[Leading the Charge] On the heels of a historic presidential election, the North American mine-to-battery value chain converges to Los Angeles for #BenchmarkWeek.Our very own Patrice Boulanger, Vice President, Sales, Marketing & Business Development, will participate to highlight the opportunities and challenges of scaling up #anode production on the continent. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence's agenda is packed with a line-up of industry leaders ready to advance dialogue and economic development for a reliable and sustainable battery ecosystem. NMG is on track to become the largest fully integrated producer of natural #graphite in North America, providing a local alternative to Chinese supply chains.
