The Future of Lithium with Daniel Layton and John Burba of IBAT
I wanted to learn more about lithium because this mineral is a big deal for batteries. Phones EVs everything needs lithium. So I had the guys from International Battery Metals on to talk lithium and their extraction methodology. Direct lithium extraction (DLE) is a thing, a real thing, even Exxon is doing it. Think about it, oil and gas guys, if you got waste water, why aren’t you extracting the lithium?
