Our mission is to produce the greenest lithium on the planet to sustainably drive the global energy transition. We believe the adoption of electric vehicles does not have to come at the expense of ecosystems where the raw materials are found.
We prioritize having minimal impact on fresh water and preventing negative impacts on availability by using advanced water recovery and reinjection, when possible, to maintain the aquifer.
We continuously improve our processes to limit our energy use. Especially for lithium projects, which are typically in areas far from energy sources, we aim to reduce impact to the environment.
We avoid creating hundreds of tonnes of waste salts for every tonne of lithium we produce by reinjecting the lithium-depleted brine after extraction.
We will measure our direct and indirect emissions to comprehensively understand our impact and find ways to reduce our emissions footprint in both our operations and DLE process.
