Did you know that America imports over $3B worth of potash every year yet we have massive amounts on our own soil?

Did you know that solution mined potash leaves no trace on the surface apart from the solution mine head?

A solution mine creates a massive cavern below ground that can be use to store gas or oil.

Did you know that CAES (compressed air energy storage) is a way of storing energy from wind farms when the energy generated is not needed (at night)?

The substantial salt beds that are left can be used to capture carbon. By directly injecting the CO2 into halite the reaction creates bicarbonate of soda. This removes the possibility of the CO2 escaping in the future.

There is a mountain of information out there. Try this one for starters.

If you read a fraction of what I’ve posted you’ll want to find out more. This is a very exciting sector to be in right now and one with massive growth potential.

PS I forgot to mention the lithium in the brine water.
