Planned Projects
Turning vision into action with scalable, sustainable lithium extraction from produced water.
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.

Bolstering the U.S. Lithium Supply
North Dakota Lithium Projects 1 and 2 represent a significant leap forward in strengthening domestic lithium production and accelerating the U.S. energy transition.
Together, these facilities will form the world’s first large-scale operation to produce lithium from oilfield wastewater. Once operational, they’re expected to boost current U.S. lithium output by 50% - a critical step toward supply chain resilience and clean energy leadership.
Lithium is essential for powering electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. By producing it sustainably, right at the source, Lithium Harvest is reducing reliance on foreign supply while cutting emissions and setting a new benchmark for environmentally responsible extraction.
With construction underway in 2024 and production starting in the second half of 2025, these projects will play a key role in securing a cleaner, more energy-secure future for the United States.
