Many of these direct lithium extraction technologies are so far unproven without the use of evaporation ponds

Lithium, the metal used to make electric vehicle batteries, has historically been produced using water-intensive evaporation ponds or open-pit mines. But a fleet of direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies is on the verge of upending that.

The Imperial Valley College in California has announced the LIFT program for training and skills development in the fields of geothermal energy and mineral extraction.

Startups and mining giants are testing what's called direct lithium extraction, which could produce more lithium in a cleaner way.

As demand for electric vehicles grows, companies are racing to develop what's being called Lithium Valley in California, with plans to extract the metal to power batteries.
