Energy transition
This paper explores the development of direct-lithium-extraction technologies designed to recover lithium from unconventional feedstocks.
This study applies Monte Carlo simulation and an XGBoost regression model to assess the influence of various formations, geologic provinces, tectonic-plate types, and boundary conditions on hydrogen concentrations.
This guest editorial addresses the need for high-temperature directional drilling technologies as the number of rigs used to develop next-generation geothermal wells is set to rise in the coming years.
