Hombre Muerto South will become a 100%
C02-neutral Raw Materials Hub

As we help enable the energy transition, we keep the ecological impact of our projects at the top of our mind.

Sustainability

Raw Materials Fact Check

Lithium-ion batteries store up to 80% of the energy in solar and wind power systems, enabling 24/7 renewable energy use.

CARBON neutrality

Let's make it happen

01
Innovation
Extraction from brine deposits
is less CO2-intensive

Our lithium deposit is a brine deposit, which is less CO2-intensive and demands less water than the extraction from hard rock.

02
Solar energy
We will use the abundant solar energy

Along with the Himalaya, our location has the highest solar power efficiency world-wide, providing high quantities of convertible solar energy.

03
Lithium purity
High lithium concentration reduces the carbon footprint

The higher the concentration, the less resource (brine) is needed. A project with e.g. 800 mg/l lithium concentration needs
half the resources to extract the same amount of lithium as a project
with 400 mg/l. Projects within our basin enjoy amongst the highest lithium concentrations worldwide.

Raw Materials Fact Check

Modern mining operations can achieve carbon-neutral extraction by leveraging advanced technologies, such as water recycling and the use of renewable energy.
