We have just been awarded a NERC highlight topic grant for ‘Lithium for Future Technology’. This is a consortium led by the British Geological Survey with many academic and industrial partners. The project will research how to ensure a sustainable supply of lithium to support the technology needed to decarbonise our energy and transport systems. We we will soon be recruiting for a PDRA to investigate the biogeochemical cycling of lithium in natural environments and to develop new recovery techniques for lithium using microorganisms
