The EV revolution is built on many things, but perhaps nothing else more than lithium. We need lithium for every type of EV battery for every type of vehicle that needs to be electrified. The
“We have developed a sustainable lithium extraction process. And sustainable can mean many things to many people, but in particular, we focused on low water use, low energy use, and bringing down our greenhouse gas emissions as well reducing waste production and reagent use. So, we kind of attack the sustainability aspect of an extraction process from lots of different angles. We’re deploying the technology into the brine space. Lithium mining happens in hard rock or brine.
“I’m a geophysicist, and so I look at the mining problem for battery metals as something we need to really approach delicately, as stewards of the Earth, and as humans who want a better future. We can’t just start ripping up the ground and making batteries without putting a lot of thought into doing it sustainably and doing it well. And so that’s what our company focuses on.”
That’s from just about 3 minutes of the 27-minute interview. I asked Amanda to also tell us a bit more about who she is and how she got into this field as well as. And I asked her about her big-picture view of the lithium market globally. For one thing, she sold her house to start the company. For much more on all of that, listen to the whole episode.
