Climate change and sustainability
|
We are passionately committed to the development of a future shaped by a sustainable global society. We recognize that climate change is largely caused by human activity and hinders this vision by negatively affecting natural ecosystems, economic returns, and community development. The resolution of this complex global problem will require multiple simultaneous strategies. |

Climate change and women as change makers |
Climate change is today's most pressing environmental challenge. Nearly half of the world’s population is already living in areas that are highly vulnerable to climate change, exposing them to more frequent weather disasters, food and water shortages, and vector-borne diseases. The call to action has never been more warranted.

Developing the most sustainable, battery-grade lithium products in the world |
The Hell’s Kitchen integrated lithium and power project is located in the largest known geothermal resource in the world in Imperial Valley, California. Controlled thermal resources aims to produce the world’s most sustainable, battery-grade lithium products by combining direct lithium extraction with renewable geothermal power. The lithium technology utilizes an ion exchange technique that is environmentally friendlier and yields lithium in a significantly short period of time.
