My entire adult life I've worked on #decarbonization technologies guided by the question, "what can I contribute to humanity to help evolve us into a more advanced alien species?" #Lithium for batteries was a good place to start.

So I spent half a decade developing technologies and natural resources for a new world that emits less CO2 and requires less mining than the old world. However lithium will always have a tiny footprint even at full scale. That's actually the point.

Want to make up your own mind about "blue hydrogen"? Recently, we (@MinviroLtd) completed a life cycle assessment (LCA) on a lithium chemical plant in the UK for a client who asked us to quantify carbon risks to make real long term H2 sourcing decisions. This is what we learned! Just like lithium natural resource extraction and processing to make lithium chemicals for use in batteries, the process technologies used, energy consumed, and reagents needed directly determine the embodied CO2 emissions of making a hydrogen product (of any color).
