I first became interested in the topic of critical minerals when I attended a fellowship where I studied the transition to a global green economy. After I completed my studies, I continued to research and invest in the low-carbon space. When I retired from the military in 2022, I decided to a write a book on the lithium industry as that was central to my ongoing efforts to better understand the green energy industry. I liked the process of writing because it forced me to structure my ideas and really bear down on the details of my topic - general assertions didn't cut it for an audience who needed relevant, measurable data. Overall, this book is a documentation of my own journey to better understand the global lithium value chain. I found great value in the process of writing it and wanted to pass on my own knowledge (however limited) to the interested reader. While I discuss politics, strategy, macroeconomics and relevant business best practices, I ensured that I discussed the topic down to the level of specific companies, both public and private.I absolutely enjoyed creating this final product of "The Lithium Economy" and I hope the reader gets something of value out of it.
