Innovation in energy S3E1 - Unlocking the UK’s potential with lithium
In the latest episode of Innovation in Energy, our podcast panel explores the opportunity for the UK to play a leading role in the processing of critical minerals as global lithium demand continues to grow.
With a shift to renewable energy sources and increased deployment of Electric Vehicles (EVs), developed nations across Europe and North America are playing catch-up with China in the race for critical minerals.
