MonitorPro y su papel en la extracción de litio

 As the world’s transition from fossil fuels accelerates, battery storage is playing an increasingly key part in both transportation and renewable energy delivery.

This contributes to the increasingly important role of lithium, both currently and in the future since Lithium is the key component of lithium-ion batteries which are currently the mainstream rechargeable batteries. It’s predicted that there will be a significant increase in the demand for lithium which in turn creates a need for more lithium mining sites.

The rapid increase in demand is caused by several factors including:

• The impact of climate change and the resulting need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles.
• Increasing demand for mobile phones and laptops.

The vast size of lithium mines can have a significant impact upon the local environment meaning lithium mines can have several governmental regulations associated with them, including impacts upon:

• Flora and fauna.
• The terrestrial environment.
• Surface and groundwater quality.
• Air quality.
• Social implications through noise and visual appearance.
