How does local lithium help the environment?

How it’s used

Did you know that lithium is essential to making the batteries in the laptops and cell phones you use every day? The same goes for electric vehicles, whose skyrocketing popularity is playing a significant part in the fight against climate change!

With the growing demand for products that run on clean energy, it’s no surprise that lithium is an increasingly sought-after material in North America.

How it’s transported

Extracting lithium close to the battery production line means avoiding long—and polluting—journeys. That means manufacturing lithium in Quebec can contribute to reducing greenhouse gases.
