BGS is currently leading a £2.5m @NERCscience funded project - @Li4FutureTech - designed to increase our understanding of global lithium resources supporting a low carbon future.
Read about the project here:

#CleanEnergy #COP26 #TogetherForOurPlanet
It's #cleanenergy day at #COP26 today. We know that lithium that is crucial to a battery powered future: could Cornwall's mining industry be the key to meeting increase demand, sustainably?

Excellent @goldschmidt2021 session this morning on critical raw materials for the energy transition, especially on #lithium. Lots for researchers to do in understanding mineralogy, alteration & fluid sources in lithium resources. We're working on it through @Li4FutureTech! – at Balerno, Scotland

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to discuss #lifecycleassessment for #mining, #refining, and #recycling projects with the great @YouTube channel @justhaveathink

Friday update. Phase map of a spherical aggregate of Mg carbonate lamellae produced in BGS hydrothermal lab. X-ray data collected from rough surface using FEI Quanta 600, HV, 20kV, 10mmWD. Blue - 2 types of Mg carbonates, yellow & green - contribution from Na+Cl (exp.by-product)

Hi @RadleyGeol - lovely! Several more in the western US and we are researching with our @USGS friends and partners. Also see @Li4FutureTech including Lithium Brines in Argentina, Chile and Bolivia for @BritGeoSurvey @NERCscience.
This quoted post is unavailable.

The pm session of the @Li4FutureTech kick-off focused on brines, geobiochemical systems & environmental impacts. A key point was that all types of #lithium deposit are part of coupled #mineralsystems. And @sdmoores reminded us that industry doesn't work on geological timescales!

Really enjoyed the @Li4FutureTech kick off meeting today. Couldn’t see every talk, but an amazing day of geoscience and discussions of the challenges ahead!!
Today we kick off our @Li4FutureTech project with a virtual meeting on all kinds of #lithium resources. This morning's key points: Incredibly varied Li mineralogy means processing is complex; understanding behaviour of volatiles like B & F is essential in exploration & research.
