ABOUT THE PROJECT

Lithium is a critical mineral used in many applications—from electrified transportation to grid-scale energy storage—that will drive our sustainable energy future. However, existing methods of lithium sourcing are costly, carbon-intensive, and can be applied only to a few anomalously lithium-rich resources.

Electroflow Technologies is developing a proprietary electrochemical process that uses lithium-selective electrodes to convert saltwater brines into lithium chemicals for batteries. Their process eliminates the need for excessive chemical reagents for purification and offers high scalability with a modular cell stack design.

Electroflow’s technology will unlock new sources of lithium resources to alleviate lithium supply concerns and ensure they do not affect our progress towards net-zero emissions. Along the way, their technology has the potential to reduce carbon emissions and land and water usage substantially compared to traditional lithium sourcing approaches.
