Pure & Green Lithium Compunds: The Sustainable Choice
Probably the world’s most sustainable high-purity battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide.
Lithium has proven to be the most effective solution to store energy from intermittent renewable energy sources like wind and solar.
However, the paradox is that traditional lithium mining has a substantial environmental footprint. Ore mining and brine extraction have an extensive CO2 footprint, which causes permanent adverse impacts on wildlife and contaminates soil and water resources.
Our proprietary technology solves the environmental issues of lithium mining.
