💡 Direct Lithium Extraction - The rise and potential of new lithium extraction technology Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies hold much promise, but hurdles remain before the unconventional becomes conventional. 🔋 As the world races to decarbonise, #lithium to feed the rapidly-growing #battery industry is facing an impending supply crunch. This imbalance threatens to derail the battery industry as it enters the terawatt-hour era. 🔎 Is DLE the key to bridging lithium’s supply gap?

Benchmark DLE Special Issue 💡 Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies hold much promise, but hurdles remain before the unconventional becomes conventional. 🔋 As the world races to decarbonise, #lithium to feed the rapidly-growing #battery industry is facing an impending supply crunch.

Does the Benchmark DLE Special Issue consider CAPEX : market capitalisation ratio? Does it provide numerous examples of publicly listed DLE aspirants that need up to 34 x their current market capitalisation in CAPEX to build their DLE lithium projects? Does it show examples of disappointed DLE lithium expectations as some investors who bought “disruptive” DLE narrative at the euphoric peak in late 2021 or April 2022 have now unfortunately potentially lost up to -98.6% of their invested capital as specialty chemical prices have collapsed -88% and some publicly listed DLE lithium stocks have crashed as much as -98.6%? There’s enough content for a Shakespearean #DLE #lithium tragedy or Charles Dickens novel.

🔋 There are few metals more valuable to a global clean energy transition than lithium. Projections of industry experts suggest that demand for lithium will increase by around 25 per cent per year for the next decade. This rapid expansion in demand creates a series of new problems. AKE's latest special report examines these problems, looking at 10 countries across the world and the challenges their lithium sector will face in the years to come!

Lithium Energy Ltd (ASX:LEL) chairman William Johnson speaks with Proactive soon after the company unveiled the results of its scoping study for the #SolarozLithiumProject in Argentina’s Jujuy Province, which showcases its potential as a large-scale, long-life, high-margin venture with excellent #ESG metrics. The study recognises the soaring demand for #lithium driven by the global transition to #ElectricVehicles (#EVs). Solaroz benefits from a substantial lithium resource, with a projected production capacity of up to 40,000 tons per annum (tpa) of battery-grade LCE, achieved through conventional evaporation pond processing. The total JORC indicated and inferred mineral resource estimate (MRE) stands at 3.3 million tons of LCE, including a high-grade core of 1.3 million tons of LCE.

Perhaps more than ever it is important for industry (and governments) to understand and invest in the Lithium Ion battery supply chain. It depends and starts with #mining. Having and securing #Lithium remains a critical key factor. The West can ill afford to fall for the price trap.

🔋 Lithium demand is expected to grow to 1,187.5 kt by 2040 in the Net Zero Emissions Scenario. As this graphic shows, battery metals face massive demand growth and potential shortfalls. At Stardust Power, we're getting ahead of the curve - producing sustainable American lithium to power the coming EV revolution.

Lithium Energy Limited (ASX Code: LEL) is uniquely positioned and ready for the global energy transformation with exposure to the two most important ingredients for Lithium-ion batteries, #lithium, at its Solaroz Project in Argentina and #graphite, at its Burke Project in Queensland. Growth in electric vehicle (#EV) sales is leading to the substantial increase in the demand of these critical battery minerals, with graphite and lithium projected to see the largest increase in demand through 2029.
