Lithium demand is growing rapidly due to increasing adoption of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and electronics. Global investments totaling over $400 billion are driving significant capacity expansions in battery megafactories and electric vehicle production. As battery usage grows, demand for raw materials like lithium, graphite, cobalt, and nickel is expected to increase substantially. Lithium-ion battery manufacturers and automakers seek long-term, scalable supplies of high-quality lithium from geopolitically stable jurisdictions to ensure reliable delivery.
Recent IEA analyses on behind-the-meter energy system trendsLeonardo ENERGY
This webinar will present recent IEA analyses on “behind-the-meter” energy sector trends, including:
* why energy efficiency progress has been slowing,
* how increasing flexible load can help decarbonise the energy system, and
* mid-term projections for the growth in distributed solar PV.
The presentation will involve analysts from the IEA’s Energy Efficiency, Renewables and World Energy Outlook teams who will present findings from three of the agency’s flagship reports and answer questions from participants.
Energy Transition - A comprehensive approachSampe Purba
this Paper discuss that a transition energy can be reached by the lining streaming of Supply, Demand, Infrastructure, Commerciality and regulation. However, any transitional energy has to consider the technology, existing power generation and the ability to absorb and competitiveness
Global Renewables Transition Requires Dedicated ETRM CapabilitiesCTRM Center
Renewable energy resource development is accelerating around the globe as the push to reduce carbon emissions continues to gain momentum.
As the pace of renewable energy expansion quickens, market participants will continue to adjust to the commercial and financial implications as well as production variability and intermittency, reliability, and grid stability.

INTERRUPTION IN THE UTILITY INDUSTRY?
Track 1 Session 1
Electricity markets are experiencing fundamental changes because of solar, wind, electric vehicles, energy efficiency programs, storage and other forms of distributed generation that may be intermittent or require changes/upgrades to the electric grid. There is also an increase in the availability of smart meters and other devices that can help customers control their electric demand and usage. As a result, demand is less predictable and more volatile. This change also creates challenges for transmission and distribution for all load serving entities, even with new real-time data availability and grid visibility. What technological, regulatory, and/or policy changes are needed in the short term and longer term to keep pace? What will these changes mean for reliability? How will the traditional utility model change in the coming years?

THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY CLEAN POWER PLAN: HOW WILL IT AFFECT THE ELECTRIC UTILITY INDUSTRY NOW AND IN THE FUTURE?
On June 2, 2014, the U.S. EPA, proposed a plan with the stated purpose of reducing carbon emissions from electric generating units, under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act. The CPP sets a CO2 emission target for each state, and utilizes four “building blocks” in devising those rates. The CPP suggests power to be dispatched based upon environmental considerations. Today, regional electric markets dispatch power based upon economic considerations and not environmental considerations. More than four million entities submitted comments on the proposed CPP and on August 3, 2015, the U.S. EPA issued their final plan. What is the overall affect on states, utilities, and ratepayers? What is the timeline for implementation of the CPP? What does the plan mean for the future electric generation mix? How will reliability and prices be impacted? What kinds of technology and regulatory policy changes will be needed?

Residential and small commercial electricity consumers will provide most of the flexibility needed in the power system to achieve the energy transition at lower cost. This flexibility will allow the electricity grid to take on more renewables and need less grid reinforcements. Consumers are happy to participate (>75% opt-in rate) via an aggregator and be rewarded with energy savings reducing their electricity. Because it reduces the overall costs of running the energy system, it means that all consumers benefit from lower energy prices. The business case is now proven as more and more countries worldwide ensure demand side response can participate in wholesale markets as an alternative to generation and the EU has provided support through its recent Clean Energy Package. Pierre Bivas from Voltalis will share his experience of operating flexibility from more than 100,000 households in France, and now installing another 150,000, backed by the European Investment Bank, while also developing in other countries with local partners.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Lithium Supply
16
• Lithium is abundant globally but tends to be deposited in low concentrations
• Lithium supply currently produced from brine deposits or traditional hard rock deposits
• Key challenge is finding high enough concentrations to make it cost efficient to produce
• Most of known supply comes from Latin America, Australia and China
• Supply currently oligopolistic in structure: three countries (Chile, Australia, China) account for
~85%, and four companies (Talison, SQM, Albemarle, Livent) control most output
• Brine assets are in Latin America, hard rock predominantly Australia while China has both
• New supply challenges
• Construction challenges are hindering the rate of new supply entering the market
• Technical challenges and capacity constraints involved with processing and producing a high
quality battery grade product are dampening supply forecasts
• Battery grade produced in two forms – lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide
• Brines first produce a lithium carbonate, with further processing required for lithium hydroxide
• Hard rock spodumene deposits produce a concentrate followed by a conversion to hydroxide

• The value of a project’s revenue stream is tied to its final lithium product
• End product specifications differ by application, but most contaminants must be reduced below
certain limits to achieve a material that is considered battery grade
• +99.5% considered battery grade, <99.5% considered technical grade
• Value also impacted by impurities and buyers’ needs (product technical specifications)
• Technical-grade lithium carbonate is cheaper to produce but rarely meets specifications required
for battery manufacturers (rather tends to be used for industrial applications)

Brine Deposit Overview
18
• Lithium brine deposits currently represent ~66% of global lithium resources
• Form in salars (salt lakes), basins where water has leached lithium from the volcanic rocks
• Lithium is extracted by pumping the brines into a series of evaporation ponds, crystallizing the
other salts out of the brine, leaving a lithium-rich liquor (~18-month process)
• Further processing is required to remove impurities prior to conversion into a lithium carbonate
(Li2CO3) which contains ~19% lithium. Further conversion to a higher-grade hydroxide is possible,
although the process can be expensive

• Found primarily in the salt flats of Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, China and Tibet
• The “Lithium Triangle” in Latin America holds ~70% of global reserves and is a major industrial
producer of lithium
• Brine deposits have been the dominant source of production due to lower costs
• Typically easier to explore, shorter timeline to production, and require less upfront capital
(although longer working capital cycles)

Hard Rock Deposit Overview
20
• Lithium hard rock deposits are primarily spodumene deposits
• Most lithium hard rock minerals are found in pegmatites of which spodumene is the most prevalent
• Most spodumene projects today produce a spodumene concentrate of at least 6% Li2O via crushing,
milling and flotation/gravity concentration
• The spodumene concentrate is then sold to a conversion plant and processed, primarily in China. A
concentrate below 6% results in a steep discount on pricing
• Conversion then involves crushing and heating of the concentrate at ~1050C with soda ash
(calcination step). Post calcination, the product is quenched in a sulfate solution (sulfuric acid), then
precipitated as a high purity lithium hydroxide/carbonate
• Approximately 7-8 tonnes of 6% concentrate are required to convert to 1 tonne of lithium carbonate
or hydroxide. The conversion process adds approximately $2,000/t to the total cost of battery grade
product and the remaining is profit to the converter
• Other hard rock lithium deposits exist today
• ‘Soft rock’ – clay deposits existing primarily in Nevada and Northern Mexico, lithium chemical
product (not a concentrate)
• Tuff – volcanic rock, similar to the primary source material for liquid brines prior to water leaching,
lithium chemical product (not a concentrate)
• Other – lithium-boron deposits, tend to be lower grade lithium, relying on boron revenue

• Australia is the largest global producer of spodumene concentrate
• Hard rock deposits are less dependent on a changing climate/environmental factors for production
when compared to brine assets
• Cost of producing lithium hydroxide is competitive versus brine deposits
• Spodumene can be directly transformed into hydroxide while brine deposits must first produce a
carbonate product prior to conversion to hydroxide
• Cost of producing lithium carbonate from spodumene is more expensive than from brines
• Operating cost highly dependent on re-agent consumption and price (sulfuric acid, soda ash)

Brine vs Hard Rock Comparison
22
Brine Deposits:
+ Lower operating costs, quicker timeline to initial production
- Longer ramp-up to full production (evaporation in large ponds in unique climates), expansion
and producing a battery grade product versus technical grade has been challenging
Hard Rock Deposits:
+ Faster processing rate, a more reliable and consistent product
- Getting to production can take longer and be costlier, no value added product (concentrate)
unless fully integrated

Brine Deposits Hard Rock Deposits
ADVANTAGES ✓ Widely accepted, dominant source of production currently
✓ Easier and quicker permitting process
✓ Typically found in flat and arid areas making exploration easier
✓ Decreased environmental impact
✓ Softer rock, less geological complexity
✓ Typically shallower than hard rock mines
✓ Smaller scale requires less capital upfront
✓ Cost of producing lithium carbonate much lower, however needs
additional refining
✓ Reliable and consistent production (“truck and shovel mining”)
✓ Quick processing durations
✓ Geographically dispersed
✓ Less dependent on changing climate for production
✓ Cost of producing lithium hydroxide competitive
✓ Final product better suited to the higher quality (low impurity)
product specifications required to achieve battery grade material
DISADVANTAGES Limited to select climates and regions due to processing
methodology, therefore processing is weather dependent
Achieving low impurity battery grade (+99.5%) carbonate
requires additional refining
Longer processing duration (~16 months)
Smaller scale operations (scalability a challenge)
Process to convert lithium carbonate to hydroxide expensive
Significant freshwater requirement for operations
High progressive royalty rates (Chile, Argentina)
Longer timeline from first discovery to production
Deposit style tends to lend itself to higher mining costs later in
the life of mine
Typically higher upfront capital cost requirement
Higher cost to produce lithium carbonate than brines
Challenges with achieving modelled recoveries
Significant pricing differential dependent on product

Trends & Observations
24
• Spodumene Vertical Integration:
Spodumene projects are realizing the need to become fully integrated to capture 100% of the value
chain. However, capital costs may be a limiting factor.
• Limitations on Brine Expansion & Quality:
Brine projects are experiencing the challenges of expanding production, and achieving battery grade
carbonate without further, and costly, refining.
• Lithium Carbonate and Lithium Hydroxide both have a place:
Lithium hydroxide may be the faster growing segment as its much smaller today, but lithium carbonate
will remain strong. Both chemicals have a strong role in the foreseeable future.
• Strategic Assets Can Scale:
Assets with characteristics that can readily scale production are desirable. The “lens” the supply chain is
looking through now is projects with potential to expand to 50,000 tpa LCE and then to 100,000 tpa LCE.
• Impurity Reduction to ppb:
The trend to lower and lower impurity levels is critical to better batteries (safety and efficiency). Projects
that can produce a low impurity product are optimal as it requires less refining before being suitable.
