The company develops direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies for recovering lithium from brine resources, primarily targeting applications in rechargeable batteries and the energy transition.
EnergyX focuses on proprietary DLE systems designed as closed-loop processes with brine reinjection to minimize water use relative to traditional evaporation methods.
