But the production of this so-called \u201cwhite oil\u201d is not without an environmental impact, the Guardian\u2019s Oliver Balch shows in this podcast (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/news\/audio\/2021\/jan\/11\/the-curse-of-white-oil-electric-vehicles-dirty-secret-podcast\">listen, runtime: 32:06<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Desertifying the Atacama:<\/strong> In Chile, where lithium is found in brine, companies pump saltwater from beneath the earth\u2019s surface and leave it to evaporate in the desert sun. An area in the country\u2019s northern Atacama Desert known as the \u201clithium triangle\u201d is thought by some to house half of the world\u2019s reserves, and is being targeted by companies for large-scale mining. Locals and environmentalists are concerned that the process will end up contaminating fresh groundwater reserves that lie above the brine deposits, accelerating the region\u2019s desertification and eradicating flora and fauna.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Over in Europe, the concerns are different.<\/strong> In Portugal, which is positioning itself as the continent\u2019s lithium hub, the mineral is found in rock and clay deposits and must be mined from the hillsides. This has been met with backlash from local communities who aren\u2019t eager to see their countryside cratered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Industry insiders argue the price is worth it if it means cutting carbon emissions:<\/strong> In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savannahresources.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Savannah-Corporate-Presentation.pdf\">an<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savannahresources.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Savannah-Corporate-Presentation.pdf\">investor presentation (pdf)<\/a> Savannah Resources, a company preparing to open a mine in Portugal, says that its initial 11-year operations will prevent a 100 mn tonnes of CO2 from being emitted, thanks to the batteries produced from its lithium. It\u2019s a \u201cno-brainer\u201d if its mines help reduce transport emissions and thus reduce the threat of climate change, the company\u2019s CEO said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Could lithium recycling provide a solution?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketsandmarkets.com\/Market-Reports\/lithium-ion-battery-recycling-market-153488928.html#:~:text=%5B146%20Pages%20Report%5D%20The%20lithium,8.2%25%20from%202025%20to%202030\">Analysts forecast<\/a> that the global lithium recycling industry will grow c. 12x to more than USD 18 bn by 2030.
