Production of high-quality lithium presents a complex problem.  Sourcing lithium is difficult and making high-purity lithium is costly.  Lithium is sourced from recycling of lithium-ion batteries or extracting it from a brine solution previously introduced into hard rock.  The extracted material is called lithium chloride or lithium sulfate, and processing it into the final product - lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate for battery production - is where Mangrove Lithium comes in. 

Saad Dara is an engineer, electrochemist and CEO and co-founder of Mangrove Lithium, based in Vancouver.  His focus on lithium began three years ago with a lithium-processing technology that eases processing of the highest-purity lithium for market.  Francisco Velasco joined as the Commercial Vice President of Mangrove one year ago, knowing there is a shortage of refining processes in the lithium supply chain.  

Today on Clean Power Hour, Saad and Francisco join Tim to discuss Mangrove’s position in the lithium processing supply chain, along with lithium’s supremely important role in the electric vehicle (EV) industry’s ability to supply the current demand which is only growing.

Key Takeaways

How Mangrove Lithium will improve supply chain disruptions for EV manufacturers 

Saad’s take on why we need to “onshore” all stops along the lithium supply chain back to the US

How lithium technology is a key “limiting factor” for the EV’s progress

How EV car development creates ups and downs in the lithium market, resembling a “boom and bust” pattern 

How availability of lithium does not meet demand, so buyers look globally for sources

Why the strategic partner of BMW i Ventures is a perfect match for Mangrove

The sources of lithium, including brine applications, hard rock or spodumene mining, and DLE (direct lithium extraction)

Details of Mangrove Lithium’s first three plants, including locations, power sources and more

Why Nevada is included in the list of ideal locales for Mangrove

Details on how Mangrove sees itself as a service to upstream or downstream companies in the lithium supply chain

Why tailoring the service is Mangrove’s main bread and butter

How the term “feed-stock flexible” applies to Mangrove’s product (a service)

One barrel of oil equals the manual labor energy of one human for five years.  This fact explains why humans are strapped to fossil fuels: entire economies and lifestyles are based on the easy availability of fossil fuels.  Humans don’t yet know how to live off of the Earth’s “energy budget” – fueled by the sun. 

We’re emitting more CO2 than at any time before.  What is the barrier to slowing this down?  Politics, and the difficulty humans have with change.  But change is afoot and hope is alive.

David Roberts is editor-at-large at Canary Media.  He writes about clean energy and politics at his newsletter, Volts.  Previously, he covered the same subjects for five years at Vox, and before that for 10 years at Grist. 

Today on Clean Power Hour, David joins Tim to discuss the progress made on technologies that extract carbon out of the atmosphere, make the clean energy we need to sustain us and store the extra.  David presents the three very attainable goals that will bring us most of the way to the solution.  Listen in for a veritable “clinic” on established clean energy technologies in place now and those in reengineering stage, like hydrogen, thermal, concentrated solar and more.  As David states, many solutions are surprisingly basic and simple.

Key Takeaways

How the global action humans have taken, while painfully slow, will likely save us from the most extreme outcomes previously considered possible

The rare jewel that is a climate science expert who speaks in plain language

How Nate Hagen’s quote, “Things are getting worse and worse and better and better, faster and faster” sums up human’s very slow adoption of climate solutions

The three changes we can make that will solve 75% of the problem

David’s take on why now is the most amazing time to be finding solutions in energy storage

Outside wind and solar, how non-intermittent solutions such as geothermal, smaller hydro, lithium-ion batteries, meltdown-proof nuclear and thermal energy are having a moment 

How the ecological principle of “carrying capacity” explains the problem humans have caused on Earth

What concentrated solar is, and how it’s a great example of replacing materials with intelligence

How one simple but clever insight waiting to be uncovered could be the answer

What happens when a home solar install company lacks a smooth interface between the business operations, their staff and the homeowner?  A missed opportunity for more happy customers, referrals and mass adoption of solar.

When customers receive just the right amount of intel from their solar system in one polished platform, user experience vastly improves.  Even more, the installer’s customer support costs fall while referrals, good reviews and add-on projects ramp up!

Scott Nguyen is the CEO of Bodhi, a software company founded in 2019 that empowers solar companies to deliver amazing customer experiences.  After an underwhelming experience with his own home’s solar panel installation, Scott recognized a gap in the business model.  Important parts of the process were missing.  The ease of UI needed a reboot.  Performance monitoring was a mess.  

Listen in to hear how Scott and Bodhi are delivering real value to solar companies and transforming how customers interface with their installers, making it easier for all parties to sustain a positive, lucrative relationship well beyond the life of their first panels.  The opportunities to improve the product were many, and Bodhi answered the call.  And their results are streaming in like a ray of innovation.  

Key Takeaways

How Scott conceived the idea for better CRM in solar and his take on the expertise missing from current-day solar installations

How consumer experience on other platforms, such as streaming, shapes expectations elsewhere

How adding Bodhi to an installer’s slate of services fulfills the “software stack” principle in business

Why high consumer expectations will be the driver of true mass adoption of solar

Evidence of how automating repetitious processes using Bodhi reduces customer acquisition costs by 20% and CRM by 20-50%

Details on Bodhi’s project lifecycle: a kickoff, consults and a customizable product in a month’s time

Why there is blatant missed revenue with the existing installation model to “set it and forget it”

How Bodhi can boost referrals, good reviews and follow-on projects, e.g. batteries or incorporating new tech

How Bodhi’s software eliminates false low performance alerts and recognizes the impacts of extreme weather

Why keeping a customer educated and apprised of project status without spamming them is such a valuable service

The first Tesla Model S came to be with an initial half-billion-dollar loan from the Department of Energy.  SpaceX was saved by a loan from NASA. The might of the federal government paired with the indomitable will of an entrepreneur equals a bridge to bankability.  

A successful model exists for scaling up decarbonization, and a tenacious entrepreneur’s first step is to the front door of the Loan Program Office.

Jigar Shah is the Director for the Loan Program Office at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).  Previously, he founded SunEdison and served as President and Co-Founder of Generate Capital.  In his current role, Jigar works with technologies that are ready to scale the transition to a global clean energy economy.  He oversees the planning and execution of the organization’s over $40B of authority within manufacturing, innovative project finance and tribal energy. 

On this episode of Clean Power Hour, Jigar joins Tim to discuss historical patterns in green energy financing, the many viable technologies still awaiting commercialization and how to identify your best and highest use professionally.

Listen in for a deep dive into decarbonization technology funding complete with rich detail, directly from a legitimate pioneer in the field.

Key Takeaways

How a DOE loan to an industry  sparks lending confidence from private banks down the line

The influence of state-level policies on lending, e.g.: California’s electric vehicle (EV) mandates 

Jigar’s take on why strong will and heart is required to reach the “bridge to bankability”

Why the Loan Program Office is a safe place for founders unfamiliar with commercialization

The perceived tension between improving existing technologies and deploying them as-is

What equity stage a company should be when applying for a DOE loan

Examples of long-established technologies plagued by inertia: green cement and green hydrogen

The differences at play in decarbonizing steel vs. cement

The learning curve benefit: a doubling of adoption of technologies equals 20% lower price

Why the process of discovery is worth losing money

The plans for a national carbon dioxide sequestration pipeline

The major investment in direct air capture technologies to come from Stripe, Meta and Google

The future decarbonization goals we have to meet as a nation by 2035 and 2050

How each individual can find their “best and highest use,” be it local activism or a fearless pursuit of bringing new technologies to a commercial market
