The geophysicist wondered what the future of energy would be and set out to figure out how to mine lithium in a way that puts planet first. In 2018, this led her to found Summit Nanotech, a company that has developed a technology it says can double lithium yields over a conventional process while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste. Today, as demand for lithium has car companies knocking down Hall\u2019s door, the CEO explains why getting lithium from Chile is more sustainable than digging up mined-in-Canada lithium. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This week, Diana Fox Carney speaks to Hall about her Calgary-based company, which recently raised US$50 million in a Series A2 funding round.
