Join The Booming Lithium Market

Global Demand for Lithium

Lithium stands at the center of this transformation as the world races toward green energy. It powers electric vehicle (EV) batteries, stabilizes renewable energy storage systems, and enables the electrification of everything from cars to cities.

Demand for lithium is projected to increase 3.5 times between 2023 and 2030. The explosive growth of EVs, energy storage, and global decarbonization goals drives this surge. For companies already managing large-scale energy infrastructure, this represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

Your opportunity? Leverage existing assets to tap into one of the most critical and profitable minerals driving the energy transition.

Supply Challenges - and Why They Matter

While demand is soaring, supply is falling behind. Traditional lithium extraction methods - hard rock mining and brine evaporation - are slow, capital-intensive, and environmentally damaging. Lithium production is also geographically concentrated, leaving the supply chain vulnerable to disruption.

By 2029, or even sooner, lithium demand may outpace supply, threatening the momentum of the clean energy transition.

A Unique Opportunity for the Oil and Gas Industry

This growing gap isn’t just a challenge - it’s your opportunity. By partnering with Lithium Harvest, you can repurpose produced water from your operations into a valuable resource. Our sustainable lithium extraction technology turns waste into profit, reducing environmental impact, creating new revenue streams, and helping meet the world’s growing demand for responsibly sourced lithium.

Lithium Supply Demand Forecast

The World Needs More Sustainable Lithium – Surge Ahead with Lithium Harvest

Capitalize on soaring demand with a smarter, greener approach.

Global demand for lithium is skyrocketing, but traditional mining can’t keep up. Open-pit operations and brine evaporation are resource-heavy, slow to deploy, and facing growing scrutiny for their environmental and social impacts.

The result? A widening supply-demand gap and rising pressure on industries to find cleaner, faster, and more responsible sources of lithium.

That’s where your company comes in.

A Strategic Pivot for Oil and Midstream Companies

Your infrastructure holds untapped potential. Produced water - once treated as waste - can now be used to extract high-purity lithium. This is a smart, sustainable business move that turns a cost center into a revenue stream.

We help you unlock that value with our patented lithium extraction solution. It’s built to meet the growing demand from EVs, battery storage, and ESG-conscious buyers, while fitting seamlessly into your existing operations.

Why This Matters Now

  • Lithium demand is projected to rise 3.5x by 2030
  • Supply is constrained by slow, unsustainable extraction methods
  • Major automakers and battery manufacturers now require ESG-compliant sourcing
  • The global lithium supply gap could reach 10 million tons LCE by 2034

Sustainably sourced lithium is no longer a nice-to-have - it’s a market requirement. And companies that get ahead of this shift will lead the next decade of energy expansion.

Be Part of the Solution – and the Upside

By partnering with Lithium Harvest, you’ll gain more than just technology. You’ll gain a competitive edge, an ESG boost, and a seat at the table in one of the fastest-growing markets of the century.

Let’s turn your produced water into strategic value - profitably, sustainably, and ahead of the curve.

Our Innovation Surges Ahead of Competitors

At Lithium Harvest, we’re not just keeping pace but setting the benchmark. Our patented lithium extraction solution leaves traditional methods behind by delivering one of the fastest, cleanest, and most cost-efficient paths to battery-grade lithium today.

Here’s how we surge ahead:

  • Cost-efficiency that transforms the equation: Traditional lithium mining is capital-heavy and slow. Our solution flips that model. By extracting lithium from oilfield wastewater using your existing infrastructure, we cut CapEx by up to 70% and OpEx by up to 35%. That means faster ROI, lower financial risk, and no need for expensive land, pipelines, or evaporation ponds.
  • One of the most sustainable lithium solutions: We turn a waste stream into one of the world’s most sustainable lithium sources. Our process minimizes freshwater use, avoids land disruption, and dramatically reduces carbon emissions - helping you hit ESG targets while unlocking new revenue. This isn’t greenwashing. It’s green leadership.
  • Faster to market, faster to profit: Traditional mining takes years to develop. Our modular, co-located facilities go live in just 12–18 months. That’s speed our competitors can’t match - and revenue you don’t have to wait for.

Why It Matters
As demand for sustainable lithium explodes, the companies that move first will capture the market. We help you do it faster, cleaner, and more profitably.

The result? A smarter strategy. A smaller footprint. And a serious competitive edge.
