Refined lithium is a critical component in the production of batteries, supporting the electrification of the global economy and reducing carbon emissions across Europe's EV supply chain.
Rho Motion forecasts annual growth of 16% in global EV sales across 2024–2030, tripling battery production capacity in Europe by 2030.
Forecast 2030 global shortfall for supply meeting demand. Lithium chemicals demand cannot be met by current operational and planned production.
China currently holds a 95% market share for converting hard-rock ore into lithium chemicals. European independence is urgently required.
Spodumene concentrate is globally abundant, but converting it to battery-grade lithium chemicals happens almost entirely in China. Green Lithium changes that.
The Opportunity
China dominates hard-rock lithium refining, leaving Europe's battery and EV industry with no security of lithium supply. Green Lithium is building the solution.
Green Lithium's approach is differentiated by flexibility, sustainability, and commercial innovation across every dimension of our business.
No ties to a specific ore source
We have tested multiple sources and maintain advanced relationships across the global supply chain, with agreements in place for pilot and demonstration plant supply.
Sales flexibility across primary chemicals
Our process architecture enables the production of multiple lithium products and grades across separate processing lines, maximising commercial optionality.
Waste material commercialised as byproduct
Having patented our waste re-processing technology, we have commercialised the coproduct and have ongoing dialogue with binding offtaker commitments.
Independently verified CO₂ reduction
Our hard-rock refining process delivers independently verified CO₂ reduction versus current refineries operating in China, with R&D programmes targeting further reductions.
