The USGS estimates there is enough lithium brought to the surface in the oil and brine waste streams in southern Arkansas to cover current estimated U.S. lithium consumption.
The United States Geological Survey USGS and the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment's Office of the State Geologist have discovered a vast lithium reserve containing more than nine times the International Energy Agency's projection of global lithium demand for electric vehicles in 2030.
Department of Energy discovered a massive lithium deposit beneath California's Salton Sea, holding an estimated 18 million tons of lithium. According to the DoE, with expected technology advances, the Salton Sea region's total resources could produce more than 3,400 kilotons of lithium, worth up to $540 billion and enough to support over 375 million batteries for electric vehicles EV—more than the total number of vehicles currently on U.S. roads.
