Arkansas May Be Sitting On 19M Tons Of Lithium Amid Rising Demand For EV Batteries: How To Invest In What Elon Musk Calls 'The New Oil'
Lithium ETFs offer a way to diversify your investments across multiple companies poised to benefit from the growing demand for lithium. In a recent study, researchers have suggested that Arkansas could potentially hold a significant amount of lithium, a crucial component for electric car batteries and other high-tech products.
在一项最近的研究中，研究人员建议阿肯色州可能拥有大量的锂矿，这是电动汽车电池和其他高科技产品的关键组成部分。
What Happened: The researchers, in a study published in the journal Science Advances, have estimated that there could be between 5.1 to 19 million tons of lithium in the Smackover Formation brines in southern Arkansas, reported The Hill. This amount could potentially make up 35 to 136% of the current U.S. lithium resource estimate.
事件经过：研究人员在《科学进展》杂志上发表的一项研究中估计，南阿肯色州Smackover Formation的卤水中可能含有5.1到1900万吨锂矿，据《山丘报》报道。这一数量可能占到当前美国锂矿资源估计的35至136%。
The researchers used a machine-learning model trained on published and newly collected brine lithium concentration data to create a map of predicted lithium concentrations in Smackover Formation brines across southern Arkansas.
研究人员使用了一个机器学习模型，该模型基于已发表和新收集的卤水锂浓度数据，创建了一幅预测南阿肯色州Smackover Formation卤水中锂浓度的地图。

锂矿etf提供了一种方式，可以将您的投资分散到多家公司，这些公司正准备从不断增长的对锂的需求中受益。
Some of the top lithium ETFs to consider include the Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (NYSE:LIT), Amplify Lithium and Battery Technology ETF (NYSE:BATT), First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund (NASDAQGM:QCLN), iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ:ICLN), and the VanEck Vectors Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF (NYSE:REMX).
一些值得考虑的顶级锂矿etf包括Global X锂电池科技etf（纽交所：LIT）、增强锂电池技术etf（纽交所：BATT）、First Trust纳斯达克清洁能源指数基金（NASDAQGM：QCLN）、环球清洁能源etf-ishares（纳斯达克：ICLN）以及VanEck矿石/战略金属etf（纽交所：REMX）。
Why It Matters: Automakers and tech companies are scrambling to secure their lithium supplies, with some even investing in mining projects, such as General Motors' joint venture with Lithium Americas (NYSE:LAC) for the Thacker Pass lithium project in Nevada.
为什么重要：汽车制造商和科技公司正竭力确保其锂矿供应，甚至有些公司正在投资采矿项目，比如通用汽车与Lithium Americas（NYSE：LAC）合资的内华达州Thacker Pass锂矿项目。
Meanwhile, in Europe, the Serbian parliament's decision not to ban lithium exploration and exploitation has kept Rio Tinto's (NYSE:RIO) major Jadar project alive.
与此同时，在欧洲，塞尔维亚议会决定不禁止锂矿勘探和开采，使得力拓（纽交所：RIO）重要的Jadar项目得以继续进行。
In January, Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) revealed its collaboration with a U.S. national laboratory to create an innovative battery material that decreases lithium consumption by 70%, attracting interest from Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk.
一月份，微软公司（纳斯达克：MSFT）披露了与美国国家实验室合作创建一种创新的电池材料，可以减少70%的锂消耗，吸引了特斯拉公司（纳斯达克：TSLA）CEO埃隆·马斯克的兴趣。
Moreover, in July 2022 Musk tweeted that "lithium batteries are the new oil," responding to Craft Ventures co-founder David Sacks' comments about the importance of energy independence amid oil challenges from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
此外，2022年7月，马斯克在推特上发文称"锂电池是新的石油"，这是对Craft Ventures联合创始人大卫·萨克斯在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰导致石油挑战的情况下对能源独立性重要性的评论的回应。
