Green Lithium

We are writing to announce that our co-founder, Richard Taylor, has stepped down from his executive roles with the company. Green Lithium Refining Limited was incorporated in January 2021 and during his time Richard has made a truly unique contribution, displaying exceptional enthusiasm, persistence and drive. This transition follows the recent announcement regarding the memorandum of understanding recently signed with Rio Tinto to develop a lithium supply chain commercial partnership, marking a pivotal moment in Green Lithium’s ambitions to establish the UK’s first large-scale lithium refinery.   Richard’s commitment to building Green Lithium has been instrumental in bringing us to this stage. As we move into the construction phase of our operations, Richard will continue to support the executive team, ensuring a smooth transition and the continued success of the company. This strategic shift will enable him to pursue new entrepreneurial opportunities aimed at fostering a more sustainable and happier planet. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Richard for the business he has been so pivotal in creating and we wish him all the best for the future.   We are excited about the future of Green Lithium and remain committed to our vision of enabling our planet’s transition to sustainable energy.

Green Lithium’s CEO Sean Sargent was recently interviewed by leading provider of lithium and commodity market insights, S&P Global. Within a wide-ranging discussion, Sean talked about the company’s exciting plans for developing its first lithium refinery facility, an industrial-sized scale-up plant at the PD Ports site on Teesport in the UK.   As well as being an IP-rich commercial asset with dual chemical output flexibility, the kilotonne-scale facility will support the company in its plans to deploy a co-located large-scale facility. This full-scale plant will produce enough lithium chemicals to enable downstream manufacture of over 1 million battery-electric vehicles. On top of its market-leading ESG credentials, it will provide Europe-wide security of supply for lithium, listed as a critical mineral by both the UK and EU.   This all comes at a time when the lithium market is re-heating up and when the company has received international press coverage in relation to its own recent progress. One week before Rio Tinto’s announcement of its US$6.5bn takeover of Arcadium Lithium, the global mining/metals giant’s strategic battery metals supply chain partnership with Green Lithium was announced publicly: https://lnkd.in/e8xh8weD   Green Lithium’s scale-up plant engineering design work has been co-funded by the UK Government’s Automotive Transformation Fund (run by the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK) and is nearing completion as the company plans to start construction of the facility in the coming months. Further details on the company’s plans are included in the interview: https://lnkd.in/eJENvJjA

This announcement comes a week after Green Lithium announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to develop a lithium supply chain commercial partnership with Rio Tinto. It’s fantastic to see Rio Tinto building its position in the lithium value chain and we’re excited about the opportunities ahead. The time to build out robust and diverse battery metal supply chains to enable the energy transition is now!

We’re delighted to share that this morning we announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to develop a lithium supply chain commercial partnership with Rio Tinto, the global metals processing and mining company.   This agreement marks another step for the parties which are looking to play a crucial role across the fast-evolving European battery metals value chain. Ultimately, we share the vision of building an end-to-end value chain that provides security of supply to safeguard the UK’s and EU’s automotive and battery manufacturing industries.   This news has been met hugely positively by industry and government. Sarah Jones MP, UK Government Minister for Industry and Decarbonisation in the UK Government, shared her comments: “This is great news for Green Lithium and Rio Tinto and will not only support high-skilled jobs in the North East but boost our critical minerals supply chains as we continue to build a cleaner, greener future for our automotive industry and drive forward our mission to net zero.”   To access the full press release, please visit our website here: https://lnkd.in/eVredj-y   #RioTinto #lithium
