Lithium demand is projected to reach 1.5 million tons by 2025 and more than three million tons by 2030, growing exponentially due to the increased demand for elect

Arkansas is sitting atop lithium reserves that could be vast enough to satisfy the entire world’s demand for EV batteries, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).

Federal and state researchers said there might be five million to 19 million tons of lithium, more than enough to meet the world’s demand for the battery ingredient.

A U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)-led study has revealed an enormous lithium deposit in southwestern Arkansas that could potentially revolutionize the global electric vehicle industry. Using innovative water testing methods combined with machine learning,

Researchers said in a recent article that Arkansas may have 19 million tons of lithium, which is used in rechargeable batteries for important products like phones and electric cars. The researchers said in their article released last month in the journal Science Advances they had “calculated that there are 5.

The International Energy Agency has predicted that demand for lithium could grow by 40 times by 2040, and one US state in particular may be the solution to that demand. Researchers say that Arkansas could have between 5 million and 19 million tons of the chemical element,
