Lithium in Chile: present status and future outlook
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of lithium in Chile, with a forward-looking assessment in the context of the ongoing national lithium
For a nation rich in the lithium reserves desperately needed to support the pace of the energy transition, it is critical that Chile adopt strategies that help meet global demand, maximize the benefits for its people, and protect the environment. The world needs lithium—a lot of it—for batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) and electricity storage.
It is noteworthy that, in contrast to other regions, a thriving lithium industry has been driven in Chile by an entrepreneurial state that identified the potential of this mineral as early as the 1960s.
LEILA FADEL, HOST: In northern Chile, lithium mining is booming. The metal is used for batteries in everything from cell phones to electric cars, and it's crucial for the transition away from fossil fuels. But as John Bartlett reports, it's tearing apart the communities who have lived on the land for millennia.
However, lithium research in Chile is not only focused on technological developments, but examples of basic science are also being conducted, as seen in ref. 58 and 59.
