Element3 Resources

Element3 extracts lithium from oil and gas wastewater using proprietary Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology developed from DOE-funded research and recognized with a 2024 R&D 100 Award. Our modular, skid-mounted extraction plants deploy alongside existing water midstream infrastructure in the Permian Basin, converting produced water into battery-grade lithium carbonate at a fraction of the cost and timeline of conventional mining. No exploration, no new permitting, and no Chinese supply chain dependency. We are the only company commercially producing lithium from produced water in North America today.
