Extracting <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/hir.harvard.edu\/lithium-triangle\/\">lithium from brine<\/a> \u2013 as is done in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile \u2013 requires drilling holes in salt flats to bring brine (salt water) to the surface, then evaporating the water using sunlight to leave potassium, manganese, borax and lithium salts behind.<\/p>\n<p>There is a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s43247-020-00080-9\">debate<\/a> about the extent to which this brine qualifies as water, and therefore how much its extraction is affecting <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/backgrounder\/water-stress-global-problem-thats-getting-worse\">water-stressed<\/a> regions like Chile. For those arguing that it should be classed as water, its extraction is creating unnecessary water scarcity and damaging fragile ecosystems. And even from the perspective of those arguing it\u2019s not water due to its high concentration of minerals, the long-term consequences of its extraction remain unknown.<\/p>\n<p>Cobalt, another vital material used in EV batteries, is mostly mined in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/what-coltan-mining-in-the-drc-costs-people-and-the-environment-183159\">Democratic Republic of Congo<\/a>.

They do, however, justify <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/its-not-necessary-to-trash-the-environment-to-extract-metals-needed-for-renewable-energy-174271\">closer focus<\/a> on how the materials needed to make eco-friendlier tech are sourced.<\/p>\n<p>Improving recycling of old products and scrap materials is a crucial part of this. However, the sheer increase in demand for these materials, due to the ongoing <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/fight-or-switch-how-the-low-carbon-transition-is-disrupting-fossil-fuel-politics-122376\">low-carbon transition<\/a> as well as consumers\u2019 growing wealth across the world, means this alone probably won\u2019t be enough to avoid widespread ecosystem damage.<\/p>\n<p>To help reduce this demand, we must increase the energy efficiency of our homes and businesses so they require less energy in the first place.
