Pilot Facility Achievements
The pilot facility consistently achieved 24-hour operational capacity, producing high-purity battery-grade lithium carbonate with over 99.5% purity. This is a critical validation of Aqua Metals' lithium AquaRefining process.
Strategic Financing Progress
Aqua Metals secured multiple term sheets for capital commitments, including a substantial capital commitment for the growth plans and a commercial supply agreement with a leading battery materials manufacturer.
Cost Efficiency and Environmental Benefits
AquaRefining technology is more capital and operating cost-efficient, eliminating waste streams and reducing environmental impacts through decarbonization. This positions Aqua Metals as a low-cost producer.
Positive Commercial Engagements
Aqua Metals has been engaging with OEMs and battery manufacturers, with positive feedback on the quality of recycled lithium carbonate. They are positioned as a leader in North American battery-grade lithium carbonate production.
