TechEnergy Ventures

We are excited to announce our strategic investment in Lithios, a pioneering developer of an Advanced Lithium Extraction (ALE) platform that aims to unlock low-cost, sustainably sourced lithium supplies. This investment aligns with our mission to foster a more competitive and sustainable lithium extraction industry. Lithios is at the forefront of creating the first scalable electrochemical lithium capture solution, which efficiently extracts lithium from untapped brine deposits where existing methods fall short. Its novel electrochemical process is designed for capital efficiency and low resource intensity, consuming ten times less energy than traditional direct lithium extraction (DLE) methods when processing low-grade lithium sources. This innovative approach not only enhances resource accessibility but also significantly reduces environmental impact. Lithios' technology enables miners, operators, and the broader battery supply chain to access sources of lithium previously considered uneconomic and inaccessible due to challenging contaminant profiles and resource constraints. The round was led by Clean Energy Ventures, collaborating with other key partners GS Futures Lowercarbon Capital, and MassCEC Internships. 👋 Swipe to discover the advantages of ALE technology. 📝 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/ewXQUeis #DirectLithiumExtraction #AdvancedLithiumExtraction #EnergyTransition
