We’re unlocking a green future with the cleanest, most versatile and most cost-efficient method of extracting and refining lithium, the fundamental element of a sustainable future.
Our DLE-R technology revolutionizes the Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) and Refining processes by extracting and producing battery-grade lithium hydroxide in a single, scalable and modular step that requires no water or chemicals, running entirely on renewable energy. By removing these factors, DLE-R is not only the most sustainable process to extract and refine lithium, but also the most cost-efficient.
Backed by Rio Tinto, Chevron, Marathon Petroleum, In-Q-Tel, Vista Energy, IP Group, Main Sequence, Fathom Fund, Hostplus, Breakthrough Victoria and Monash University, ElectraLith is based in Melbourne, Australia.
