Energy Source Minerals - Environmentally sustainable, low-impact lithium extraction
Pioneering Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology to create low-cost lithium production from geothermal resources in California 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.
- Energy Source’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 100% renewable geothermal energy and an efficient DLE process with minimal reagent and water use
-
The company’s technology will enable the production of lithium from a fraction of the land and water usage of hard rock or conventional brine extraction
