Episode DescriptionAbout half of the global lithium supply is produced by crushing lithium-rich rocks, and the other half by extracting lithium from underground brines. The former is fast but energy-intensive, whereas the latter is cheap but requires several months because of the solar evaporation process. However, there are ways in development to extract lithium from brines that do not require solar evaporation, called direct lithium extraction. E3 metals corporation in Alberta, for example, designed such a process.
