Pure Lithium CEO Emilie Bodoin weighs in on U.S. tariffs on Chinese products, including EV batteries, as a way to give domestic producers a chance to develop and compete. "[Tariffs are] definitely helpful as we raise more money," Emilie Bodoin told S&P Global Commodity Insights. "It's definitely helpful for investors to know that there are policy initiatives that will help make batteries happen in the United States." Tariffs on Chinese products are likely to continue for some time whether Kamala Harris or Donald Trump win the U.S. election in November, according to S&P. Former President Donald Trump has advocated sweeping tariffs on goods from China and duties on all imported goods, whereas Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to continue the Biden administration's current and more targeted approach to energy transition supply chains. President Joe Biden directed the US Trade Representative to raise Section 301 tariffs on $18 billion worth of Chinese products in May. Changes included a 100% tariff on electric vehicles, along with a 25% tariff on lithium-ion batteries used for EVs, natural graphite and a host of other critical minerals including cobalt. Lithium was not included. Pure Lithium’s Brine to Battery™ technology enables the complete production of a lithium metal battery using domestically sourced lithium brine and vanadium oxide. The company in August signed a Joint Development Agreement with E3 Lithium Ltd. of Alberta, Canada to build a battery pilot plant and to complete a preliminary economic assessment of a commercial lithium metal battery facility in Alberta using Pure Lithium’s patented vertically integrated technology and E3’s lithium concentrate.

We’re really thrilled to see both the mining and environmental press sharing Pure Lithium’s exciting news about our deepening partnership with Canada’s E3 Lithium Ltd. MINING.com, Canadian Mining Journal, Mining Technology & MINE Magazine and The Environmental Journal all reported on our Joint Development Agreement with E3 Lithium to advance the design of a lithium metal anode, build a pilot battery plant and complete a preliminary economic assessment for a commercial lithium metal battery facility in Alberta. E3 and Pure Lithium will work together over the next 12 months to complete a rigorous techno-economic model and continue the joint scale-up efforts. Our Brine to Battery™ technology vertically integrates the lithium metal anode production from brine directly into battery manufacturing. Our resulting lithium metal vanadium battery can be entirely sourced from North American materials reducing costs and ending dependence on international supply chains. “Securing a supply of lithium is something all battery and battery material companies have historically struggled to do. We are doing things differently and solving this problem with trusted partners prior to the commencement of battery production,” said Emilie Bodoin, founder and CEO of Pure Lithium.  Read the full story by Mining Technology’s Smruthi Nadig here: https://lnkd.in/eAEtKnR2 Find out more about Pure Lithium’s revolutionary battery technology here: https://lnkd.in/ec6e7GdR #batteries #technology #canada #lithium

Pure Lithium celebrates a major step toward moving our groundbreaking lithium metal battery technology from laboratory to production. We have signed a Joint Development Agreement with E3 Lithium Ltd. to advance the design of a vertically integrated lithium metal anode and battery pilot. Over the next 12 months, E3 and Pure Lithium will work together to complete a rigorous techno-economic model, continue joint scale-up efforts, and complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment. Our joint goal with E3 is to create a commercial lithium metal battery facility that would be located adjacent to their lithium production near Calgary. Our vertically integrated technology allows us to produce the lithium metal anode and build the complete battery in one location, dramatically reducing costs. Pure Lithium has been using E3’s lithium concentrate since 2022 to produce lithium metal cells that do not contain nickel, cobalt or graphite using our patented Brine to Battery™ technology.   By sourcing our lithium brine in North America and using domestically available vanadium to produce our cathode, Pure Lithium can produce a superior and low-cost rechargeable battery without any dependence on risky global supply chains. Upon successful completion of the pilot, the companies will move forward to demonstrate the world’s first vertically integrated lithium metal battery facility. We look forward to a very fruitful partnership.

We are delighted to see Pure Lithium’s trailblazing battery technology getting the attention of one of the industry’s most trusted sources on commodities.   Check out this report from Fastmarkets and Andrea Hotter on how our lithium metal battery technology can change the future:   https://lnkd.in/gDx82Uzm   It’s been less than a month since Pure Lithium won the Start Up Coup de Coeur Award at World Materials Forum for Battery Ready Lithium Metal Electrode and the Voltas award for “Best New Project” at Fastmarkets’ Lithium Supply and Battery Raw Materials Conference 2024 in Las Vegas.   Pure Lithium is on the move and gathering pace with a more powerful, locally sourced and safer battery technology that’s simply a step-change from today’s lithium-ion battery.   Go here to find out more about Pure Lithium’s revolutionary Brine to Battery™ lithium metal battery technology: http://www.purelithium.io/   #batteries #technology #lithium #innovation

Great reporting from Elias Chavez on Pure Lithium's mission to "Reimagine lithium battery manufacturing" and for highlighting the strides our team continues to make! #BostonBizJournal #PureLithium #Technology #LithiumMetal #Batteries

We’re very pleased that the Boston Business Journal shared the story of Pure Lithium’s breakthrough technology and how it’s making lithium metal batteries commercially viable for the first time. In an interview with Boston Business Journal’s Elias Chavez, Pure Lithium Co-founder and CEO Emilie Bodoin explained how the company has solved the cost, safety and supply chain issues that have so far prevented lithium metal batteries from becoming a mainstream product. Pure Lithium is looking to the past to make the batteries of the future, Chavez wrote. When made properly, lithium metal batteries (invented in 1977 by Professor Sir Nobel Laureate Stan Whittingham) can last longer, be made with materials found in North America, and have a cathode that will not combust – three things you can’t say about today’s lithium-ion battery. Lithium metal batteries are primed to replace lithium-ion batteries commonly used today. “All we have to get is lithium metal and a piece of copper. So, we invented a technology that we can use all sorts of oil brines all over the United States,” Bodoin said. “And instead of taking 587 days to get the lithium into your phone, we can do it in one. It's just really simple.” Bodoin also explained the advantages of using inexpensive and widely available vanadium to make the battery’s cathode. The fifth most abundant transition metal makes the batteries fire resistant and heat resistant to up to 300°C, unlike lithium-ion batteries, which contain conflict metals like cobalt, graphite, nickel and are notorious for catching fire.
