For Lithium mining, it is estimated to be in a similar range at around 1.3+ million tonnes of carbon annually, with every tonne of mined lithium equating to 15 tonnes of CO2 into the air. Thus, the amount of carbon emitted is significantly less than fossil fuels, and a necessary middle ground should be considered in society's transition to ...
