Welcome back to The Environmental Review Podcast. I’m today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the biggest questions facing the future of clean energy: Where will all the lithium come from? To help us unpack this pressing question, I’m joined by Dr. Alissa Kendall — a leading voice in environmental engineering and sustainability. She’s the Ray B. Krone Endowed Professor at University of California, Davis and has spent her career exploring how we can build greener, smarter systems for the planet. Her latest research, published in Nature Sustainability, explores how battery recycling could transform the electric vehicle supply chain and reduce our reliance on lithium mining.
