Planned Projects
Turning vision into action with scalable, sustainable lithium extraction from produced water and geothermal brine.
North Dakota Lithium Project 1
A first-of-its-kind facility turning produced water into high-value lithium.
North Dakota Project 1 is setting a new standard for sustainable lithium production in the U.S. This 1,300 metric ton per year facility will be the world’s first large-scale plant to extract lithium from oilfield wastewater, delivering zero-carbon lithium carbonate to support the green energy transition.
We’ve partnered with a leading midstream water management company to secure a reliable supply of produced water feedstock. Through a sublease agreement, our lithium extraction facility will be co-located at the produced water collection site, reducing logistics, cutting emissions, and improving operational efficiency.
Powered by our patented lithium extraction solution, this project proves that sustainable lithium can be produced quickly, cost-effectively, and right at the source.
Environmental Commitment:
North Dakota Project 1 is committed to carbon neutrality and boasts a substantially reduced environmental footprint. By integrating well-side construction with on-site lithium extraction and refining, we ensure maximum efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Construction is set to commence in the second half of 2024, and production is anticipated in the second half of 2025. North Dakota Project 1 isn’t just a milestone for Lithium Harvest - it’s a breakthrough in how lithium can be sustainably sourced at scale.

North Dakota Lithium Project 2
The Largest Lithium Extraction Plant from Oilfield Wastewater in the U.S.
North Dakota Project 2 is another major step in scaling sustainable lithium production. This 1,500 metric ton per year facility will be the largest lithium extraction plant from oilfield wastewater in the United States, further solidifying our leadership in green lithium innovation.
We've signed a second long-term feedstock supply agreement with a leading midstream partner to support this project. Our facility will be co-located at the produced water collection site, minimizing environmental impact and streamlining operations through our proven, modular approach.
Powered by our patented lithium extraction solution, North Dakota Project 2 will set new benchmarks for efficiency, scalability, and sustainability - delivering zero-carbon lithium carbonate to help power the green energy transition.

Alberta Lithium Project
Canada’s future flagship for sustainable lithium from geothermal brine.
Alberta Lithium Project marks a significant expansion of our mission to redefine lithium production through fast, clean, and scalable solutions. With a planned capacity of 9,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate per year, this facility will extract lithium directly from geothermal brine using our proprietary lithium extraction solution, delivering zero-carbon lithium with significantly lower water use and emissions compared to traditional mining methods.
This project, following the signing of a Letter of Intent, is set to be one of the largest lithium production facilities in Canada, with a capacity that will more than double the country’s current output once fully operational. Scheduled for commissioning in the second half of 2026, the Alberta facility demonstrates our ability to deploy advanced lithium production at unprecedented speed, with an operational timeline of approximately 18 months, compared to the industry’s typical 5 to 18 years.
Environmental Commitment:
True to our core values, the Alberta Lithium Project will feature carbon-neutral operations and a minimal environmental footprint by leveraging existing geothermal infrastructure and our closed-loop extraction and refining approach.
Bolstering North American Lithium Supply
North Dakota Lithium Projects 1 and 2 represent a significant leap forward in strengthening domestic U.S. lithium production and accelerating the energy transition. With the addition of the Alberta Lithium Project, we’re extending our impact across borders - building the foundation for a cleaner, more secure North American lithium supply chain.
Together, these facilities will include the first large-scale operation in the U.S. to produce lithium from oilfield wastewater and one of the largest geothermal brine lithium extraction projects in Canada. Once operational, the U.S. projects are expected to increase current domestic output by 50%, while the Alberta facility will more than double Canadian lithium production - a critical step toward achieving supply chain resilience, energy independence, and clean energy leadership.
Lithium is crucial for powering electric vehicles and storing renewable energy. By producing it sustainably and directly at the source, Lithium Harvest is reducing reliance on foreign supply while cutting emissions and setting new benchmarks for environmentally responsible extraction.
With construction underway in 2025 and additional production coming online in 2026, our projects are designed to accelerate lithium availability when the world needs it most - faster, cleaner, and right where it matters.
