Albemarle's Eric Norris, president of energy storage, joined Fastmarkets' Andrea Hotter on her podcast, Fast Forward, to discuss the future of the lithium industry.
Norris said there’s a need for better incentive pricing to avoid slowing the energy transition in the West, but there’s still a growing demand for lithium.
He also explained the advantages of Albemarle’s bidding process, and the need for an end-to-end critical mineral and battery supply chain—not just for electric vehicles, but also to secure grid storage and for national security.
