Game Changers & Transition Makers: Powering EVs with Net Zero Lithium

How do we produce the essential materials for electric vehicles without adding to the world's carbon footprint? Host Elena Lambros explores this critical question with Dr Francis Wedin, founder and executive chair of Vulcan Energy Resources. Dr Wedin shares the innovative approach behind Vulcan's Zero Carbon Lithium Project, which aims to supply lithium with a net-zero carbon footprint while also generating renewable energy for local communities.
