What Do Electric Vehicles, Energy Storage Systems And Electric Aircraft Have In Common? The Argument For Lithium's Long-Term Value

Benzinga

By Mangeet Kaur Bouns, Benzinga As the world increasingly shifts toward greener and more sustainable energy sources, the demand for lithium is expected to grow in the coming years. This commodity underpins key advancements across three pivotal sectors: electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage systems and electric aircraft. While lithium has faced short-term weaknesses and price fluctuations due to broad market factors, it is believed to still hold long-term value, and companies like Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) are strategically positioning themselves to capitalize on this growing demand. Lithium's Role In Electric Vehicles Electric vehicles are part of the global transition to sustainable transportation. A key part of this shift is lithium-ion battery technology, renowned for its high energy density, long lifespan and relatively low cost. These attributes make lithium-ion batteries ideal for automotive applications, aligning well with global goals to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. According to Dimension Market Research, the lithium-ion battery market is projected to reach $470.50 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 21% from an estimated $84.3 billion in 2024. This surge is expected to be driven by the worldwide adoption of EVs. The adoption of EVs is accelerating globally, spurred by some supportive government policies and incentives. Countries like Norway have set ambitious goals, such as banning the sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles by 2025. In the U.S., California wants all new passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks sold to be zero-emission by 2035. These regulations create a fertile ground for the lithium market to expand, with lithium-ion batteries being a cornerstone of EV technology. Energy Storage Systems: A Renewable Energy Solution Lithium-ion batteries are also critical for renewable energy storage, providing a potential solution to the intermittency of wind and solar energy. Utilities globally are investing heavily in lithium-ion battery systems to store vast amounts of energy, ranging from 100 to 800 megawatts (MW). For instance, the Moss Landing energy storage facility in California, one of the world's largest lithium-ion battery systems, has a capacity of 750 MW/3,000 MWh. As countries transition to renewable energy sources, the ability to store and manage energy becomes crucial. Lithium-ion batteries provide the needed flexibility and reliability, allowing for the stabilization of power grids and the optimization of energy use. The falling cost of lithium-ion batteries, coupled with their ability to store increasing amounts of energy, makes them a cornerstone of many renewable energy strategies. Governments worldwide are recognizing the need for robust energy storage solutions. The European Union, for example, has set ambitious targets for energy storage capacity to ensure energy security and grid stability. Similar initiatives are underway in the U.S. and Asia, where large-scale energy storage projects are being implemented. This global trend underscores the role of lithium-ion batteries in achieving sustainable energy goals. Electric Aircraft: The Future Of Aviation The aviation industry is exploring lithium-ion battery technology as a game-changer for electric aircraft. As this sector evolves, lithium-ion batteries seem poised to provide the power needed for longer flights and more efficient operations. Although still in the early stages, advancements in lithium battery technology are critical for overcoming the challenges of electric aviation, such as weight and energy density. Companies like Joby Aviation and Lilium are pioneering electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, which aim to transform urban air mobility. These eVTOL aircraft, powered by lithium-ion batteries, promise to reduce traffic congestion and lower carbon emissions associated with traditional air travel. While regulatory hurdles and technical challenges remain, the successful deployment of eVTOLs could significantly boost lithium demand. Short-Term Weakness Vs. Long-Term Potential In recent years, lithium prices have been highly volatile, peaking dramatically before falling sharply. Factors such as speculative trading, shifting demand projections and supply-demand imbalances have driven this fluctuation. For example, lithium prices soared from around $12,000 per metric ton in 2019 to $46,000 per metric ton in 2023. China's dominance in lithium processing — accounting for about two-thirds of the global supply — impacts the supply chain. Geopolitical tensions and trade restrictions exacerbate these issues, as seen with U.S. legislation excluding companies that are Foreign Entities of Concern (FEOCs) from receiving tax credits for EV investments. Additionally, the environmental impact of lithium mining and the slow pace of regulatory approvals for new mines complicate the growth of domestic production. Despite these challenges, lithium's long-term potential across EVs, energy storage systems and electric aircraft seems robust. Governments worldwide are setting ambitious targets for zero carbon emissions, and automakers are ramping up EV production. How Atlas Lithium Is Positioning Itself For Long-Term Growth Atlas Lithium is strategically positioning itself to meet the growing demand for lithium. With one of the largest exploration projects in Brazil, the company seems poised to capitalize on this need. Atlas Lithium has more than doubled its exploration portfolio in Brazil to approximately 539 km² (nearly 133,294 acres), including new claims in the Doce River and Mucuri Valleys, which are emerging as promising lithium jurisdictions. In addition to expanding its exploration footprint, Atlas Lithium says it is investing in advanced technologies and sustainable mining practices to enhance its production capabilities. These efforts, it says, aim to increase output and to mitigate the environmental impact of lithium extraction. Lithium's role in powering electric vehicles, enabling energy storage systems and supporting the development of electric aircraft underscores its critical importance in the transition to a more sustainable future, and the recent sell-off may have made the prices of stocks and commodities like lithium more attractive for interested investors. Leveraging substantial exploration activities and an established resource base, Atlas Lithium could be poised to benefit from rising global demand.

Vymo Launches OnboardIQ, the First AI/Machine Driven Solution for Insurance Recruiting, Onboarding, and Compliance

Vymo, Inc.

Vymo, a leading multi-channel distribution management platform powered by AI for the global insurance industry, recently announced the launch of OnboardIQ. By leveraging AI and ML, OnboardIQ is the first complete solution designed to streamline recruiting, onboarding, and compliance, marking a swift departure from existing, outdated legacy systems. “Traditional recruitment methods are typically tedious, inefficient, and costly. But by factoring in a prospect’s skills, licensure history, and a carrier’s specific needs, OnboardIQ can generate comprehensive candidate profiles,” notes Venkat Malladi, Vymo Co-Founder and CTO. The system then scours these profiles and targets the most suitable candidates by generating campaigns on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. He adds, “no matter how much the talent pool shrinks in the coming years, with OnboardIQ, carriers will have access to top-tier, matched talent.” One carrier remarked that their biggest challenge during onboarding was the "lack of visibility." OnboardIQ addresses this issue by providing complete transparency from the moment an agent decides to start selling, through the licensing and appointment processes, all the way to completing their product training and achieving ready to sell status. Beyond recruiting and onboarding agents, OnboardIQ helps agents to live up to their full potential. For example, a carrier based in California might want to make inroads in the midwestern market. OnboardIQ will pinpoint the agents best suited for this expansion, check their existing state licenses, and guide those who need additional licenses through the acquisition process. “ This approach helps carriers get the most value from each agent, while allowing agents to maximize their commissions. The platform empowers both carriers and agents to expand their footprint,” notes Venkat Malladi. The U.S. has a uniquely intricate regulatory landscape, with varying licensing requirements across states. As legislation tightens, OnboardIQ helps prevent fines, and irreversible reputational damage by proactively—not reactively—identifying compliance issues across an entire multi-state insurance organization. Notes Malladi, “without software that can create a database of agent licenses and update them in real time as agents obtain new licenses, managing compliance becomes extremely complex.” At the core of OnboardIQ is Co-Pilot, an AI-powered, text-based personal assistant designed to answer recruiting, onboarding, and compliance questions for both agents and carriers. For example, an agent might ask Co-Pilot, “what are the pre-licensing education requirements for obtaining a health insurance license in Florida?” While a carrier might inquire, “which of my agents are due for license renewal in the next three months in New Jersey?” Co-Pilot provides accurate and easy-to-understand answers for both queries. Malladi notes, “OnboardIQ serves as a conduit for seamless interaction between carriers and agents—adapting to an era where insurance operations extend beyond local boundaries.” About Vymo® Vymo is a global provider of a smart distribution management platform powered by AI to deliver data-driven insights and transform the way your businesses operate. Meticulously crafted for insurers, MGAs, FMOs, IMOs, and insurance distributors who have outgrown legacy sales and account management tools and require greater automation for producer administration and sales processes. Vymo's platform features a suite of modular applications—including OnboardIQ and EngageIQ, and is engineered to deliver a superior producer experience through critical steps in the sales process, such as onboarding, compliance, activity tracking, and sales enablement. Vymo has secured over $45M in funding from Peak XC Partners, Emergence Capital, and Bertelsmann India Investments and is also an award winner of CB Insights' and Microsoft's 'AI for All' awards.

K3 Holdings and Alpine LA Properties Congratulate Team USA for Winning Paris Olympics Medal Count

K3 Holdings

K3 Holdings, a privately held real estate investment firm with extensive holdings throughout the United States and Alpine LA Properties, a leasing company providing newly remodeled apartments at affordable rates in Los Angeles, congratulated Team USA for their outstanding performance in the Paris Olympics. Following more than two weeks of competition and lifetimes of preparation, athletes representing the United States won 126 medals (40 gold) leading all other countries at the conclusion of the games in Paris. "Congratulations to Team USA for showcasing the true spirit of excellence and determination, bringing home the most medals and making us all proud,” stated Michael Kadisha, a Principal of K3 Holdings. "Winning the most medals is a triumph of skill and perseverance, and more so, a testament to the unity and resilience that define the American spirit. Dedication, hard work, and a never-give-up attitude leads to greatness, and we are all inspired by the performance of our athletes in Paris.” "In sports, as in life, the way we handle victory says as much about us as the victory itself. Gratitude and humility elevate every achievement. Winning with grace and losing with dignity are the hallmarks of true champions,” Michael Kadisha continued. “The K3 Holdings and Alpine teams were impressed at how Team USA proved themselves to be real winners by celebrating their victories while honoring their opponents with respect and gratitude.” The Olympics serve as a unique platform where nations from every corner of the globe come together in a spirit of friendly competition. Beyond the medals and records, the Olympics foster an environment where cultural exchange and mutual understanding thrive. In a world often divided by differences, the Olympics create a space where adversaries can engage in dialogue, learn from one another, and find common ground through shared values of sportsmanship and respect. "The Olympics is a powerful testament to how people from diverse cultures and backgrounds can come together to achieve greatness," stated Nathan Kadisha, a K3 Principal. "The actions of Olympic athletes in Paris show us that dedication, perseverance, and mutual respect transcend borders and ideologies.
