Direct Lithium Extraction Europe 2026 is a two-day industry forum on 14–15 September 2026 in Munich at the Hilton Munich Airport. The event brings together energy operators, battery and e-mobility manufacturers, project developers, technology vendors, engineering firms, investors, and policy or regulatory representatives to discuss direct lithium extraction (DLE) from geothermal and oilfield brines, produced water and other saline sources. Program elements include technical presentations, case studies, panels and Q&A covering adsorbents and ion-exchange systems, membranes, electrochemical separation, lithium-ion sieves, process scale-up, plant design, techno-economic analyses, and environmental and water management considerations. Sessions aim to connect technology development with practical pathways for deployment within European battery supply chains.
