In an exclusive agreement with GeoLith SAS, KBR has become the global licensor of Li-Capt technology. This innovative technology allows for direct lithium extraction from untapped sources such as geothermal and oil well brines, without any emissions. With this alliance, KBR is now able to offer its clients an end-to-end solution for producing battery-grade lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide monohydrate.
Li-Capt technology is highly adaptable and can be used for various brine compositions. This makes it an essential component in the production of advanced batteries used in electric vehicles. When combined with KBR’s existing suite of battery material technologies, including PureLiSM for high purity lithium production, Li-Capt offers a comprehensive solution for lithium extraction.
KBR’s expertise in the recovery and purification of critical minerals has been honed over seven decades of experience in evaporation and crystallization technologies. These technologies have been developed to meet evolving environmental regulations, ensuring sustainable and environmentally friendly extraction processes. With this new alliance, KBR is well positioned to continue leading the way in the development of innovative solutions for the future of energy storage.
