Our Vertically integrated projects
Project Black Giant
We acquired 100k+ acres of lithium mining concessions in Chile. This has the potential to support a 40,000 metric tons per year lithium plant.
READ MOREBlack Giant
- Chile’s first commercial DLE plant
- Close proximity to infrastructure and railways
- Integration with nearby solar energy and desalination plants
- Up to 50% in cost reduction compared to competitors
- Planning to open demo plant in Q4 2024
Project Lonestar
The project aims to solidify EnergyX’s position as a leader in the global energy transition and bid to help secure the US battery supply chain.
READ MORELonestar
- $10M mobile plant in Austin, TX with $5M DOE funding
- Ready to move to the field for testing in early 2025
- Actively acquiring Smackover acreage
- Applying for DOE grants to build a $700M LCE facility in Ark-La-Tex
- Partnering with upstream producers to drill wells and expand geologic analysis on acquired land
- Potential to turn into 25,000 tons/year commercial plant (the current largest active lithium plant in the US produced 5,000 tons/year)

our technology can increase lithium output by up to 300%
Our revolutionary LiTAS™ technology is a true “brine to battery” solution. LiTAS™ can recover up to 90%+ of lithium in a matter of days (compared to just 30% from legacy methods). And we’re the only company in the world that can work with all brine types and integrate with all production methods. We can deliver the fastest, most efficient lithium extraction for our partners at the lowest capital cost possible.
The Battery materials Market Could Reach $546B by 2035
The $112B battery market is expected to reach $546 billion by 2035³. Lithium is a key driver for the battery and energy storage market, and is required for all forms of rechargeable batteries.
The EV Boom Is Fueling Lithium Demand
Lithium is essential for the batteries used in EVs. The lithium market is expected to increase in demand 13x from 300,000 tons per annum to nearly 3.8M tons of lithium per annum by 2035. Every automaker (GM, Ford, VW, Mercedes, Toyota, BMW, etc.) is transitioning their fleet to fully electric, and will all require millions of tons of lithium to manufacture battery-powered cars⁴.
Lithium Is Essential to a Renewable Energy Future
Over the next 10-20 years, lithium is expected, with a high probability, to become one of the most highly demanded natural resources in the world. It will replace fossil fuels as the leading renewable energy storage source, paving a path forward to a sustainable future. Right now, batteries are the bottleneck to store renewable solar and wind energy, and energy storage is exponentially increasing over the next 5, 10, 20 years⁵.
Securing North America’s Lithium Supply
North America has lagged behind lithium production, while China is the 3rd largest lithium producer and controls the majority of the global lithium-ion battery supply chain. It’s a matter of national security that the United States taps into its own lithium sources. We’re making this possible.

Our LiTAS™ Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) Portfolio
Lithium Ion Transport and Separation (LiTAS™) is our suite of lithium selective and processing mechanisms that incorporates proprietary membranes, solvents and/or adsorbents to improve lithium recovery for existing and new Li-brine resource producers. We’re the only company in the world that has all three classes of DLE technologies. When used together, our suite of DLE technologies can treat any brine type, making us truly brine agnostic.
Adsorbents
Adsorbents technology involves using spherical beads for extraction of target molecules in aqueous solutions. Read More
Solvents
Solvent extraction molecules developed by EnergyX are highly selective towards lithium contained in the brine. Read More
Membranes
Currently, we have a portfolio of patented membrane technologies used in different lithium processing applications. Read More
