Lithium at a Crossroads: Ten Takeaways on the Global Lithium Market

Silverado's Executive Director Sarah Stewart, Senior Director of Research and Analysis Andy David, and Junior Economist Meagan Reid discussed Silverado Policy Accelerator's report on the trajectory of the global lithium market and its implications for allied national security, energy security, and the green energy transition. The report aggregates and analyzes recently-released data on lithium supply, demand, and trade to provide insights on the current and future states of the global lithium industry. The conversation focused on the report's ten key take-aways and four key policy recommendations related to strategic mapping, permitting reform, and international cooperation that the U.S. and its allies could act on to secure their supply of lithium.
