Pilot will test salt-assisted crystallization to refine LiCl from geothermal brines and recycled batteries into battery-grade lithium with lower energy, CO₂, water and waste.

Becomes strategic partner in a spin-out commercialising an electrochemical route to turn captured CO₂ into glycolic acid and PLGA using renewable electricity; Salalah eyed for first non‑EU plant.

Moves into Front-End Engineering Design to refine plant design, reduce technical and execution risks, and prepare an engineering package for a Final Investment Decision.

$225m phased investment for a DLE lithium project with closed‑loop brine reinjection; 52.5 kton/y LCE target, staged start‑ups in 2028 and 2030 and up to 25% offtake option.
