  2. Lithium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium

    The main sources of lithium are brines and ores. Lithium metal is produced through electrolysis applied to a mixture of fused 55% lithium chloride and 45% potassium chloride at about 450 °C. [107] Lithium is one of the elements critical in a world running on renewable energy and dependent on batteries.

  3. Sustainable energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_energy

    Renewable energy projects sometimes raise significant sustainability concerns, such as risks to biodiversity when areas of high ecological value are converted to bioenergy production or wind or solar farms. [50] [51] Hydropower is the largest source of renewable electricity while solar and wind energy are growing rapidly.

  4. Environmental impacts of lithium-ion batteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impacts_of...

    Lithium-ion batteries must be handled with extreme care from when they're created, to being transported, to being recycled. Recycling is extremely vital to limiting the environmental impacts of lithium-ion batteries. By recycling the batteries, emissions and energy consumption can be reduced as less lithium would need to be mined and processed ...
