The carbon emissions of producing energy transition metals: Charted Via VCElements
Along with this, whether brine or spodumene, producing lithium hydroxide as the end product rather than lithium carbonate produces almost While there’s plenty of variability, even the lower end of the ranges for nickel and lithium production results in large amounts of carbon emissions.Along with carbon emissions from mining and processing operations, these projects have additional tolls on the environment.
Open pit mines dig up vast areas of land spanning multiple kilometers, releasing large amounts of dust and asbestos-like minerals. Along with this, mineral processing operations consume large amounts of water, and resulting Simply put, the energy transition will require large amounts of land, energy, and water for the carbon-intensive process of metals mining and refining.
