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'
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.
在一項最近的研究中，研究人員建議阿肯色州可能擁有大量的鋰礦，這是電動汽車電池和其他高科技產品的關鍵組成部分。
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.
事件經過：研究人員在《科學進展》雜誌上發表的一項研究中估計，南阿肯色州Smackover Formation的滷水中可能含有5.1到1900萬噸鋰礦，據《山丘報》報道。這一數量可能佔到當前美國鋰礦資源估計的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.
研究人員使用了一個機器學習模型，該模型基於已發表和新收集的滷水鋰濃度數據，創建了一幅預測南阿肯色州Smackover Formation滷水中鋰濃度的地圖。

鋰礦etf提供了一種方式，可以將您的投資分散到多家公司，這些公司正準備從不斷增長的對鋰的需求中受益。
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).
一些值得考慮的頂級鋰礦etf包括Global X鋰電池科技etf（紐交所：LIT）、增強鋰電池技術etf（紐交所：BATT）、First Trust納斯達克清潔能源指數基金（NASDAQGM：QCLN）、環球清潔能源etf-ishares（納斯達克：ICLN）以及VanEck礦石/戰略金屬etf（紐交所：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.
爲什麼重要：汽車製造商和科技公司正竭力確保其鋰礦供應，甚至有些公司正在投資採礦項目，比如通用汽車與Lithium Americas（NYSE：LAC）合資的內華達州Thacker Pass鋰礦項目。
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.
與此同時，在歐洲，塞爾維亞議會決定不禁止鋰礦勘探和開採，使得力拓（紐交所：RIO）重要的Jadar項目得以繼續進行。
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，微軟公司（納斯達克：MSFT）披露了與美國國家實驗室合作創建一種創新的電池材料，可以減少70%的鋰消耗，吸引了特斯拉公司（納斯達克：TSLA）CEO埃隆·馬斯克的興趣。
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，馬斯克在推特上發文稱"鋰電池是新的石油"，這是對Craft Ventures聯合創始人大衛·薩克斯在俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭導致石油挑戰的情況下對能源獨立性重要性的評論的回應。
