#Lateinamerika muss sich vor dem Ansturm auf Mineralien schützen #Bergbau #Rohstoffe
Die Energiewende hat Mineralien wie #Kupfer, #Lithium und #Nickel zu strategischen Rohstoffen für die Weltwirtschaft gemacht, die nun auf eine kontinuierliche und stabile Versorgung mit diesen Ressourcen angewiesen ist. In Lateinamerika befinden sich einige der weltweit größten Vorkommen an kritischen Mineralien. Auf #Chile und #Peru entfallen etwa 40 % der Kupferreserven.

#SodiumIonBatteries offer an alternative to tricky #lithium
Oct 26th 2023
Excerpt: "Fortunately, lithium is not the only game in town. As we report this week, a clutch of firms are making batteries based on sodium, lithium’s elemental cousin. Since sodium’s chemical properties are very similar to those of lithium, it too makes for good batteries. And sodium, which is found in the salt in #seawater, is thousands of times more abundant on Earth than lithium and cheaper to get at. Most of the companies using sodium to make batteries today are also Chinese. But pursuing the technology in the West might be a surer route to energy security than relying heavily on lithium.
"Besides its abundance, sodium has other advantages. The best lithium batteries use #cobalt and #nickel in their electrodes. Nickel, like lithium, is in short supply. #Mining it on land is #EnvironmentallyDestructive. Proposals to grab it from the #seabed instead have caused rows. A good deal of the world’s cobalt, meanwhile, is extracted from small mines in the #DemocraticRepublicOfCongo, where #ChildLabour is common and working conditions are dire. Sodium batteries, by contrast, can use #electrodes built from #iron and #manganese [and wood #lignin], which are plentiful and uncontroversial. Since the chemical components are cheap, a scaled-up industry should be able to produce batteries that cost less than their lithium counterparts.
"Sodium is not a perfect replacement for lithium. It is heavier, meaning sodium batteries will weigh more than lithium ones of an equivalent capacity. That is likely to rule them out in some cases where lightness is paramount. But for other applications, such as #GridStorage or #HomeBatteries, weight is irrelevant. Several Chinese carmakers are even beginning to put sodium batteries in #ElectricVehicles."

Robbing Africa’s Riches to Save the Climate (and Power AI)
Considered Angola’s crown jewel by many, Lobito is a colorful port city on the country’s scenic Atlantic coast where a nearly five-kilometer strip of land creates a natural harbor. Its white sand beaches, vibrant blue waters, and mild tropical climate have made Lobito a tourist destination in recent years. Yet under its shiny new facade is a history fraught with colonial violence and exploitation.

International court rules against #Guatemala in a landmark #Indigenous and #environmental rights case
By DANIEL SHAILER
December 16, 2023MEXICO CITY (AP) — “Guatemala violated #IndigenousRights by permitting a huge #nickel mine on tribal land almost two decades ago, according to a ruling from the Inter-American Court of #HumanRights Friday.
"The landmark verdict marks a monumental step in a four-decade struggle for Indigenous land rights and a long, bitter legal battle, which has at times spilled into the streets of northern Guatemala.
"It also comes at the close of the U.N. climate summit #COP28, which stressed the importance of #renewables and energy transition minerals like nickel more than ever.
"According to a verdict read from Costa Rica in the early hours of the morning, the Guatemalan government violated the rights of the Indigenous Q’eqchi’ people to property and consultation by permitting #mining on land where members of the community have lived at least since the 1800s.
“In its written sentence, the court linked the #HumanRights violations to 'inadequacies in domestic law,' which fail to recognize Indigenous property and ordered the state to adopt new laws.
"Leonardo Crippa, an attorney with the Indian Law Resource Center who has been researching and representing the community since 2005, said that the finding against the state of Guatemala was a once-in-a-century advance for #IndigenousRights in Guatemala and internationally.
"'All countries in Latin America are going to look at this decision,' Crippa said. 'All courts will have to secure that any decision that this made on mining, on Indigenous lands or titling of Indigenous land is done in a way that is consistent with what the court decided today.'
"The court also ordered an immediate stop to all mining activities, gave Guatemala six months to begin awarding a land title to the community, and ordered the creation of a development fund. No further mining can take place, it said, without the community’s consent.
"The Guatemalan environmental department responsible for initially permitting the mine didn’t immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment.
"For #RodrigoTot, a local leader, the verdict is vindication of a lifelong battle against the mine and the state which took his own son’s life.
"Guatemala first granted massive exploratory permits at the #FenixMine in eastern Guatemala to Canadian company #Hudbay just under two decades ago. In 2009, the mine’s head of security shot Tot’s son dead. Hudbay sold the site to a local subsidiary of Swiss-based Solway Investment Group two years later.
“’Losing your life doesn’t matter, but only for something important,' Tot said. 'Within our anthem there is a part where it says ‘overcome or die.’ If I die defending my land, then I believe it is something that will remain as the history of our struggle.'
"Over a decade of national and now international litigation after the murder of Tot’s son, documents were leaked appearing to show the mine attempting to divide the community by bribing some locals to testify in court in favor of the mine.
"In response the U.S. Treasury sanctioned two Solway officials implicated in the accusations in November 2022. The ruling Friday noted the community suffered 'violence, threats and harassment,' from 2006 to 2019. The U.S. Treasury sanctions against the two Solway employees, who were fired by the company, were not part of the court’s decision Friday.
"A spokesperson for Solway wrote that the company and its subsidiary were 'not a party to this case' and that 'disagreements regarding the mismatch in land demarcation began even before our company acquired the project.'
"She did not respond to questions about bribery allegations or the community’s harassment up to 2019, eight years after Solway’s subsidiary acquired the site.
"While Crippa said it was encouraging that the court’s ruling came with strict timelines, Tot admitted he expects there will now be a battle for compliance.
"'It doesn’t end here. Our fight is going to go on,' he said. But 'it encourages us when we see that there are people who also value our struggle.'
"The Fenix mine isn’t the only conflict between international mines offering clean energy minerals and Indigenous communities in the region, nor is it likely to be the last.
"Indigenous and environmental protests rocked Panama for weeks earlier this year when the government approved a 20-year contract for a Canadian company’s local subsidiary. Eventually, a ruling of the country’s supreme court struck down the contract and ordered the copper mine to close.
"Meanwhile, one study published last year calculated that over half of existing and planned critical mineral mines sit on or near Indigenous land. In remarks at COP28, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres warned of the potential for exactly this type of conflict as demand for minerals like nickel grows.
"'The #extraction of critical minerals for the clean energy revolution — from #WindFarms to #SolarPanels and #battery manufacturing — must be done in a #sustainable, fair and just way,' Guterres said."

Battle of #LithiumMining at #Paiute Massacre Site Links Struggles Against #Greenwashing Around the World
By Brenda Norrell, #CensoredNews
December 6, 2023"The struggle to protect #PeeheeMuhuh, #ThackerPass, from lithium mine links the #global struggles of uncontacted #Indonesians battling #nickel mining, child slaves in #Congo's #cobalt mines, and the peoples' battles against lithium mining in #Serbia and #Argentina. They are all battling the greenwashing of the false solution of #electricvehicles for #ClimateChange.
"The desecration of the sacred Paiute Massacre site by #LithiumAmericas of Canada is proceeding because federal laws do not protect massacre sites. Further, a man camp of lithium miners threatens the rural communities of #FortMcDermitt Paiute #Shoshone Nation, and the town of #Winnemucca with crime, specifically sex trafficking.
"Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, #RenoSparks Indian Colony Chairman Arlan Melendez called for a new mobilization of #PeacefulProtests that will bring awareness to the public about the ongoing desecration to the sacred place and the damage to the #environment. He called for support from #SouthDakota and elsewhere to bring this desecration to the forefront.
"'We lost the lawsuit because the law favors #mining, especially in this state,' Chaimrnan Melendez said.
'Without water, there is no life,' said Dean Barlese, #PyramidLakePaiute, who offered the opening traditional prayer honoring all created things, all sacred creation. 'We're teaching our young people these prayer songs.'"'Our songs are still out there on the land.'
"Chairman Melendez said they are concerned about the crime that the mine will bring to Fort McDermitt region, in a rural area, including man camps, especially with the concern for missing and murdered women.
The lithium boom is like the gold rush, the whole state has lithium deposits, and #Nevada's 28 bands and tribes are sure to be affected. Already, sacred sites are being desecrated by lithium mining.
Chairman Melendez said the strategy is to mobilize tribes to speak with a louder voice so that the people will understand the devastation."Read more: https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2023/12/battle-of-lithium-mining-at-paiute.html
