The sustainable revolution constitutes a multiscalar process characterized by gradual interconnection and digitization in economic globalization. This work confronts the discourses derived from this socioeconomic process with the biophysical limits of the planet through the analysis of the material requirements of the basic infrastructure necessary for the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Through the study of the discourses and the current situation of natural resources, 13 metals have been identified whose availability in the next 30 years constitutes the limiting factors for the effective deployment of the technologies of this process. In this situation, the theoretical foundations of future potential are established where techno-optimistic and degrowth discourses coexist through uneven development, making sustainability a characteristic based on exclusivity.

ABSTRAKLithium adalah salah satu mineral yang mempunyai permintaan yang paling tinggi dalam Revolusi Industri Keempat. Indonesia yang kekayaan alam nikelnya besar, ingin menjadi negara penghasil baterai. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan investigasi sumber bahan baku utama lainnya dalam produksi baterai. Sumber daya bahan baku utama baterai adalah Lithium. Penyelidikan litium sebagai sumber bahan baku di Indonesia telah dilakukan melalui tinjauan pustaka. Sumber daya alam litium ditemukan di air laut, Brine, mineral, dan tanah liat. Endapan yang mengandung Mineral Lithium terdapat di beberapa tempat di Indonesia dalam jumlah dan konsentrasi yang kecil. Sebagai negara yang dilalui cincin api, Indonesia memiliki banyak mata air panas dan Brine yang mengandung Lithium. Tanah liat yang mengandung litium ditemukan dalam bentuk slurry (brine dan lumpur tanah liat), seperti pada lumpur Bleduk Kuwu dan lumpur Sidoharjo. Bittern sebagai limbah industri garam memiliki potensi besar untuk dikembangkan sebagai sumber Lithium di IndonesiaKata kunci: Lithium, Sumber Air Panas, Brine, Clay, Bittern   ABSTRACTLithium is one of most demanding minerals in The Fourth Industrial Revolution. Indonesia whose large Nickel natural resources, wants to become a battery producing country. Therefore an investigation of other main raw material sources in battery production is needed. The main raw material resource for batteries is Lithium. The investigation of lithium as raw material resource in Indonesia has been carried out through a literature review. Lithium natural resources are found in sea water, Brine, minerals, and clay. Mineral Lithium containing deposits are found in several places in Indonesia in small amounts and concentrations. As a country through which the ring of fire passes, Indonesia has a lot of hot spring water and Brine containing Lithium. Clay containing lithium is found in the form of slurry ( brine and clay mud), such as in the Bleduk Kuwu mud and the Sidoharjo mud. Bittern as a waste of salt industries has great potential to be developed as a source of Lithium in IndonesiaKeywords: Lithium, Hot Spring Water, Brine, Clay, Bittern

The rapid pace of technological developments played a key role in the previous industrial revolutions. However, the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) and its embedded technology diffusion progress is expected to grow exponentially in terms of technical change and socioeconomic impact. Therefore, coping with such transformation require a holistic approach that encompasses innovative and sustainable system solutions and not just technological ones. In this article, we propose a framework that can facilitate the interaction between technological and social innovation to continuously come up with proactive, and hence timely, sustainable strategies. These strategies can leverage economic rewards, enrich society at large, and protect the environment. The new forthcoming opportunities that will be generated through the next industrial wave are gigantic at all levels. However, the readiness for such revolutionary conversion require coupling the forces of technological innovation and social innovation under the sustainability umbrella.
