A new era of lithium extraction is emerging, one driven by nanotechnology, guided by artificial intelligence, and grounded in sustainability.
As global demand for lithium surges, the world’s battery supply chain faces mounting pressure. From electric vehicles to renewable grid storage, lithium is the lifeblood of clean energy. Yet, traditional mining methods remain water-intensive, costly, and environmentally taxing. Now, two transformative technologies, nanotech and AI, are reshaping how this critical resource is sourced and refined.

Washington is betting billions on carbon capture, but red tape may slow the payout. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has made CCUS one of the most incentivized climate technologies in history. Yet proposed reforms and agency delays are creating both opportunity and uncertainty for executives charting a decarbonization path.
Executive Summary
The United States currently offers the world’s most generous CCUS incentives, with tax credits of up to $180 per ton for Direct Air Capture (DAC) and $85 per ton…
BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners has acquired a 49.99 percent stake in Eni’s CCUS business, which includes projects in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Italy. This deal aligns the world’s largest asset manager with one of Europe’s leading energy companies. The partnership combines global capital with operational expertise and positions CCUS not just as an environmental solution but as a long-term infrastructure investment.
Key Takeaways
BlackRock has taken nearly half ownership of Eni’s CCUS portfolio, signaling institutional investor confidence.
