A comment on How Australia became the world’s greatest lithium supplier. Parent comment
400k km in an ICE vehicule is 24000 liter of refined petroleum product.
Assuming 90% recovery rate for lithium (very conservative) in fine you compare 1kg of lithium to 24000 liters of refined petroleum product.
99% recovery rate makes it 100g of lithium vs 24000 liters of refined petroleum products.
It's quite a shock to me that people even discuss/compare when there is such a wide 5 order of magnitude difference.
