Vancouver-based Mangrove Lithium is poised to open a commercial lithium refinery after successfully completing a US$10-million financing round backed by Bill Gates-headed Breakthrough Energy Ventures.
Mangrove employs a “feedstock-flexible, modular platform to produce battery-grade lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate” according to company materials.
Essentially, Mangrove says its technology will enable efficient and more encompassing production of high-purity lithium — the supply of which is a potential concern for the rapidly expanding battery and EV supply chain in North America.
