Environmentally sustainable, low-impact lithium extraction

Pioneering Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology called ILiAD to create low-cost lithium production from geothermal resources in California, USA, with minimal environmental impact and carbon footprint.

  • The company is targeting the production of 20kt p.a. of lithium hydroxide from brine flow from an existing 55MW geothermal power plant at the Salton Sea, California.
  • EnergySource’s unique DLE technology has the potential to unlock a range of brine resources globally.
  • It will be one of the lowest CO2 emitting lithium projects globally due to the use of renewable geothermal energy and an efficient DLE process with minimal reagent and water use.
  • The company’s technology will enable the production of lithium with a fraction of the land and water usage of hard rock or conventional brine extraction.
