S9E9 - Sustainable Lithium Production Has an Overlooked 3rd Component: Here's How to Unlock It!

with 🎙️ Christopher Brown - CEO at Helios Corporation 

💧 Helios acknowledges that the World's current trajectory is unsustainable and focuses its expertise in Energy, Power, Biomass, Capital Markets, and the latest environmental technology to achieve more, using less.

What we covered:

💡 How geothermal energy can revolutionize lithium extraction and how it may actually do it 

⚡️ Why the future of lithium production is tied to reducing carbon intensity and the secrets behind low-carbon lithium extraction 

🌎 What the key to sustainable lithium mining is and how HeliosX is bridging the gap with eco-friendly practices 

📈 How to invest wisely in the thriving critical minerals industry while still not being investment advice (hey, this is a podcast!) 

🧪 How DLE technologies are reshaping the lithium extraction landscape and how groundbreaking lab experiments can give us a glimpse of the future 

🚀 How long it takes from lab to commercial production, and the timeline to make lithium extraction profitable 

🔋 How lithium extraction can and shall be both profitable and environmentally friendly 

🌱 Green goals vs. economic reality: the real cost of an accelerated EV program and its challenges for the electrical grid. 

🔄 Scaling up lithium extraction: How can companies transition from lab success to field operations? Let's break down the logical steps 

🤝 Collaboration in the critical minerals industry: the ideal partners for driving positive change and their shared philosophies. 

🌍 Impact metrics that matter: how to contribute to economic development and low carbon intensity while integrating the human dimension 

💰 Investing in critical minerals and the associated risk, the winning formula to sustainable mining, how revolutionizing battery production is a race, the next big thing, first nations, zooming out before we zoom in… and much more!
