AMO and GTO are offering a potential funding opportunity focused on Lithium Extraction and Conversion from Geothermal Brines. This grant is for the purpose of significantly spurring the development of a robust domestic lithium supply and enhancing refinement capacity. The primary objective is to secure America’s critical clean energy supply chains and boost U.S. manufacturing competitiveness on a global scale. It is anticipated that this grant will support two key areas: the crucial field validation of lithium hydroxide production directly from geothermal brines, and advanced applied research and development initiatives for efficient direct lithium extraction from these valuable resources. This strategic initiative is vital for establishing a sustainable, independent, and secure lithium source for the nation’s clean energy future.
