The world has entered an era with climate challenges. In the last few years, record temperatures have been recorded across the globe.

Climate change is a reality.

But humanity began to deal with the problem, as 97 countries pledged to achieve net-zero emissions. That number accounts for about 80% of all emissions in the world.

Governments have taken various measures to achieve the said net-zero emissions target. One of them is to stimulate electric vehicle (EVs) sales.

EVs are key in the decarbonization era, and the global demand for them is rising. By 2040, roughly 75% of all vehicles on the road will be EVs.

But EVs rely on lithium-ion batteries. Batteries are expected to account for 95% of lithium demand by 2030.

here are no batteries without lithium, so lithium mining companies sit at the forefront of the decarbonization revolution.

So, which lithium mining companies are worth focusing on?
