A few weeks ago @Scarpa mentioned that the production of LiOH was the most  CO2 emission intensive part of the process along the chain from  a Li spondumene mine to LiOH and gas/oil was needed to produce the high heat needed for LiOH production and electricity could not achieve this meaning the proximity to Hydro energy for spondumene mines was a minor factor in lowering CO2 emissions in the overall process.
I have followed this through, firstly with an email to Alex Cheesman 1MC who sent it on to Green Lithium U K. who are building a LiOH refinery in the U.K. with Woodplc.
I got a reply from the Technical director and a founder of Green Lithium.
Guy maintains along with Minviro that the most energy intensive part of the process is the mining contrary to Scarpas assessment who is/was a big supporter of AVZ.
A positive for SYA as they can use Hydro electricity not diesel for the mining as we are all aware of.
Green Lithium will be releasing a statement on C02 emmissions through the process prepared by Minviro soon.
Green Lithium will be using U.K. produced Blue Hydrogen and energy from Green sources windmills etc.for the LiOH refinery.

Quebec have been very busy building Hydrogen manufacturing facilities using Hydro electricity and the large amounts of  water needed to do this.

This is another huge plus for SYA.

There are not many Li mines in the world that can source less expensive  Green hydro energy for mining and  Green Hydrogen for the refining.
Not only that but  are also close to the main EV battery makers in the world.
