Lithium Harvest & AAU Awarded MUDP Grant to Advance Critical Mineral Extraction Technologies

In collaboration with Aalborg University, Lithium Harvest has been granted 2.3 million DKK by the Environmental Technology Development and Demonstration Program (“MUDP”) under Denmark’s Ministry of Environment. This funding will support groundbreaking efforts to identify new sources of critical minerals and develop sustainable extraction technologies.

The joint project, with a total budget exceeding 4 million DKK, focuses on three core objectives:

• Building Advanced Lab Capabilities: Establishing state-of-the-art facilities at Aalborg University to analyze and test geothermal water and other brine samples for their mineral content.
• Mapping Critical Mineral Resources: Collecting and analyzing a substantial number of samples to improve our understanding of critical raw material distribution, paving the way for future projects at identified sites.
• Innovating Extraction Technologies: Developing and testing economically viable solutions for extracting minerals from geothermal water and other brines, leveraging Aalborg University’s world-class expertise in membrane distillation.

This initiative builds on the success of our recently completed Sustainable Minerals from Geothermal Water project, which was also supported by MUDP. The continued support underscores the importance of innovation in finding sustainable solutions for producing critical minerals vital to the green energy transition.

We are deeply grateful for MUDP’s trust, continued support, and investment in our vision. This collaboration brings us one step closer to revolutionizing how critical minerals are sourced, ensuring a greener and more sustainable future for all.

Stay tuned as we share updates on this exciting journey to unlock the potential of geothermal and brine resources.
