KBR and GeoLith SAS Collaborate on Sustainable Lithium Extraction with Li-Capt Technology: Advancing Battery Materials for EVs

KBR has partnered with GeoLith SAS to offer Li-Capt technology for direct lithium extraction. This cutting-edge technology enables the extraction of lithium from sources such as geothermal and oil well brines, without any emissions. With this agreement, KBR is now the exclusive global licensor of Li-Capt, which can produce pure lithium concentrate from various brine compositions.

KBR’s expertise in battery material technologies has been honed over seven decades of experience in evaporation and crystallization processes. These processes have been developed to meet evolving environmental regulations, ensuring sustainable and eco-friendly extraction methods. Li-Capt is a prime example of this approach, as it offers an end-to-end solution for clients to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide monohydrate, which are essential for advanced batteries used in electric vehicles.

Li-Capt technology is highly adaptable to different extraction sources, making it a versatile solution for clients looking to extract lithium efficiently and effectively. In combination with KBR’s existing suite of battery material technologies, including PureLiSM for high purity lithium production, Li-Capt provides a comprehensive solution for all lithium extraction needs.
