JOIN US AND
Energy independent lithium for the US grid and manufacturing is here
The 129 trillion gallons of water
in America’s domestic brine basins
contain enough lithium to power America’s industrial needs
for hundreds of years
a new era of energy security
at less than half the cost.

Beyond the 400 million phones, tablets and laptops we use every day, lithium plays an essential role in the USA’s strategic needs for supply of energy storage systems

THE TRUE COST OF ENERGY STORAGE

LITHIUM/TON:

$069,099

CO2 TONS/YEAR:

13.263801

99% of the lithium used in the US is arduously mined in China, Australia and South America, and then refined in China

THE TRUE COST OF ENERGY STORAGE

LITHIUM/TON:

$090,360

CO2 TONS/YEAR:

22.103730

with substantial environmental impact

THE TRUE COST OF ENERGY STORAGE

LITHIUM/TON:

$130,225

and thousands of miles of global shipping adding to the cost

THE TRUE COST OF ENERGY STORAGE

LITHIUM/TON:

$199,855

CO2 TONS/YEAR:

even the small percentage of U.S. mined lithium gets shipped to China and back before use.

THE TRUE COST OF ENERGY STORAGE

LITHIUM/TON:

$454,217

CO2 TONS/YEAR:
