Lithium resources undoubtedly occupy an important position in the current and future new energy structure. In view of the urgency of the carbon neutral goal, mainstream institutions around the world are stepping up research on green carbon reduction plans and implementation paths. Driven by strong global demand, especially new energy vehicles, the lithium mining industry has developed rapidly, which is mainly manifested in the following characteristics: 1. The rise of the entire industry chain, the alliance of exploration, mining, and smelting, and the integration of upstream and downstream; 2. Capital Fierce competition and frequent mergers and acquisitions; 3. Driven by the goal of carbon neutrality, technological innovation is developing rapidly. Driven by the domestic carbon neutral and carbon peak policy, the technological innovation of the whole industry chain of lithium mining mainly shows the following trends: Pay attention to the carbon emission evaluation of different types of lithium mines and the
