Lithios

The US is sitting on a vast, untapped supply of lithium-rich brine that prevailing extraction methods can’t economically process. These brines are too dilute, too contaminant-heavy, or both. Sometimes, they are even re-injected back into the earth once other elements have been recovered from them. Lithios is piloting our Advanced Lithium Extraction (ALE) technology on real brine in the Southern US, with plans to expand operations following our recent selection for the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) SCALEUP Ready award. Places like Arkansas have been waiting for a technology to deliver on the promise of its underutilized lithium resource. Lower cost production is key. Through selective electrochemistry, ALE extracts lithium and leaves everything else behind. Minimal pre-treatment and downstream processing, and up to 40% lower costs. Last week, Lithios Senior Director of Strategy Oscar Turner and our go-to-market collaborator Joe Hicken had the opportunity to engage the Arkansas Congressional delegation and leaders at the United States Department of War and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to discuss how we can work together to scale up ALE in the Smackover Formation and reliably supply domestically produced lithium to the industries powering our future!

Wolf Greenfield has been a powerful partner to Lithios in building the IP portfolio needed to scale Advanced Lithium Extraction. We are grateful for the highlight of our recent award selection by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to expand our pilot manufacturing and unlock new domestic sources of lithium.

Join us in Las Vegas this June! We’re excited to be a sponsor of Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials 2026. The conference has grown to reflect where the market is actually heading: lithium and battery materials alongside critical minerals, energy storage, and defense-linked supply chains, all in the same week. Over 1,250 senior leaders from 40+ countries across the full value chain: mine to cell, storage deployment, government and finance, and more. If you're planning to attend, we'd love to connect.

Lithios has been selected as one of two projects for the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) SCALEUP Ready program! Designed to accelerate commercial scale-up of high-impact energy technologies, this critical federal program is at the forefront of strengthening domestic energy supply chains and American energy priorities. With the Department of Energy’s support, we'll scale our Advanced Lithium Extraction (ALE) technology to turn low-grade lithium brines into a valuable new domestic energy resource. This award is a major milestone in Lithios’s mission to expand the lithium supply. We're proud to be building the cost-superior solution that can unlock low-grade lithium resources to address demand from our energy, electronics, and defense industries.

The world needs more lithium — but too much of it has been trapped in brines too contaminated and too dilute to develop economically. Until now. Our CEO Mohammad A. Alkhadra presented Lithios at CERAWeek 2026 last week — Monday in a pod presentation at the Innovation Agora, then at aramco House on Wednesday — making the case for our Advanced Lithium Extraction (ALE) technology as a solution to one of the energy transition's most pressing supply chain challenges. By going electrochemical, we can extract lithium from brines that have never been economically viable, dramatically expanding the global supply chain for the lithium that is essential to address our defense, energy, and advanced electronics industries. The response at CERAWeek confirmed what we've believed for a while: the market is ready for a lower-cost, higher-yield lithium supply chain. #Lithios #CERAWeek2025 #ALE #LithiumSupply #CriticalMinerals #InnovationAgora

Our CEO and Co-Founder Mohammad A. Alkhadra will be at CERAWeek presenting our Advanced Electrochemical Extraction (ALE) technology on Monday at 3pm. Key industry growth over the next five years will demand more lithium than we’ve made before in all of history. Yet so much of the valuable metal remains trapped in dilute or contaminant-heavy brines because traditional methods have been unable to economically capture it. Electrochemistry unlocks that and ushers lithium extraction into the future. Tune in to hear more: https://lnkd.in/eZPwCWbB #CERAWEEK #criticalminerals #cleanmanufacturing #lithium

What a great, far-ranging conversation between Lithios CEO and co-founder Mohammad A. Alkhadra and Chris Wedding ⚡ ! Listen to hear how Lithios's electrochemical approach unlocks lithium from novel brines, why a domestic lithium supply is critical for US energy security, and some less-discussed realities of building and scaling scaling an industrial hardware tech company. Thank you for the great conversation, Chris! Listen here: https://lnkd.in/d2ZKXXPU.

We are pleased to share Mo A Alkhadra, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Lithios will speak at #CWAgora at #CERAWeek 2026. Join us March 23-27 in Houston, TX. Register today at: https://okt.to/otge4s

Last night, Lithios attended the NEVYS, an award party hosted by the New England Venture Capital Association, and we're excited to announce that we won the award for Emerging Company of the Year in Advanced Systems. Thank you for this recognition and congratulations to all the nominees!
