The energy transition is a metals transition. Great piece by CTVC.
⛏️Mining through the Valleys of Death ⛏️ 🚨Over a lifetime, an American born today will consume 2.96 million lbs of minerals, metals, and fuels - a shocking mineral intensity only exacerbated by the clean energy transition. ctvc.co/mining-through-the-v…

I'm happy to announce our lab has successfully demonstrated in lab scale studies that our engineered microbes can break down hard rock ores and release the lithium and aluminum they contain. That's the power of synthetic biology! #LITHIUM #biotech #sustainability

so excited to be in the #YC community👀 want a custom microbe?🦠 or ask us how bacteria can extract lithium🔋
Welcome to YC S22, team @MaverickBio! Maverick Bioworks develops cost-effective custom microbes for industry with an automated robotics platform. They are starting with a lithium extraction microbe for greener (and cheaper) mining: maverickbioworks.com
