Nevada’s Push for a Critical Mineral Economy
In this feature with the Sierra Nevada Ally, the critical mineral economy being developed in Nevada goes beyond just lithium. Other critical minerals, such as copper, cobalt, and nickel, will all play equally integral roles in the renewable energy transition. As such, new mining operations for these wide-range of critical minerals continue to be exploredContinue reading “Nevada’s Push for a Critical Mineral Economy”
Author Interview: Looking at the Impact of the Critical Minerals, in Nevada and Beyond
Ernest Scheyder recently authored a new book titled: “The War Below: Lithium, Copper and the Global Battle to Power Our Lives.” In this podcast episode for the Sierra Nevada Ally, a new battleground is forming around the need for critical minerals to support the renewable energy transition, while weighing the costs to rural and IndigenousContinue reading “Author Interview: Looking at the Impact of the Critical Minerals, in Nevada and Beyond”
Closing the Lithium Loop in Nevada
However, it’s the “missing middle” of critical mineral processing, refining, and battery recycling that can close the “lithium loop” and secure a fully domestic supply chain for lithium in the United States.
Vanadium and Grid-Scale Storage
In this audio de-brief for the Ally Radio Podcast, the nature of vanadium and it’s role as a critical mineral is explored. Vanadium has been of strategic importance in industrial and aerospace industries.
Vanadium as a Critical Mineral Catalyst
The Gibellini Vanadium Project, overseen by Nevada Vanadium, may be coming online at a time when a new market is emerging for vanadium: long-duration, grid-scale storage.
