Energy Drivers - What is the scale of lithium extraction opportunities in Canada?

In this episode, we talk to Amanda Hall, CEO and Founder of Summit Nanotech, about the relevance of lithium as a critical mineral and Canadian lithium extraction opportunities.

Three insights to take away:

  • Clean energy solutions, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems are just a few product categories that absolutely need lithium.
  • The future of lithium looks promising despite current challenges in commodity pricing, infrastructure, and labor, as global demand for electrification rises.
  • Canada's potential to expand lithium harvesting and processing, along with diverse downstream applications, can significantly enhance its economic value and global role.
