Eureka Resources, having extracted 97% pure lithium from fracking wastewater, faced setbacks including idling facilities, permit withdrawals, and scrutiny over environmental safety violations, raising economic viability concerns.
The economic viability of extracting lithium from Pennsylvania's fracking wastewater is questioned as Eureka Resources faces regulatory scrutiny and operational issues, highlighting larger problems in waste disposal management.
Eureka aims "to develop a sustainable lithium supply chain in North America," but its challenges indicate more significant environmental impacts from oil and gas waste disposal systems.
The presence of toxic metals and radioactive elements in oil and gas waste poses unresolved questions about its fate and impacts on Pennsylvania's environment and public health.
