⛏️ LITHIUM PROJECT 💧
The full project recap: https://leckerlithium.com/
🎥 IN THIS EPISODE 🎥
I could have titled this video "How I may Accidentally Become a Billionaire" - and it was a fascinating quest that's probably only half-through (that's on you now!)
I embarked on an extraordinary global quest, unraveling a potential solution to a critical challenge facing the electric vehicle (EV) industry: the scarcity of lithium. As the backbone of EV batteries, lithium is in high demand, yet its supply is concentrated in a few locations worldwide, lagging behind the explosive growth of the EV market. This imbalance has catapulted lithium prices, making it a lucrative yet elusive resource.
This journey took me to four continents and made me meet dozens of lithium experts. It all started with a surprising discovery: a vast, untapped lithium source almost in my backyard. This revelation isn't just a stroke of luck but the result of meticulous research and exploration in the once-thriving potash mines of South Alsace.
Not only did I uncover a significant lithium source, but I also built a viable strategy to mine it, potentially producing 20,000 tons annually. This hopefully addresses a global challenge, turning an environmental hazard into an opportunity and potentially transforming the EV industry.
