Company Overview

GEOLITH, founded in 2016 in Orsay, France, specializes in sustainable lithium extraction via its Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology. It developed Li-Capt®, a selective ion sieve system that extracts lithium from brines with minimal environmental impact. Focused on reducing dependence on fossil fuels and accelerating low-carbon lithium production, GEOLITH addresses the projected 60-fold increase in lithium demand by 2050.

Battery Technology

GEOLITH’s Li-Capt® DLE technology achieves over 90% lithium extraction efficiency versus traditional 20-40% methods. Its modular system processes raw brine into battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide monohydrate rapidly, using minimal chemicals and generating zero waste. Recyclable lithium filters, no brine ponds, and reduced emissions support sustainable operations. The technology adapts to various brine compositions for consistent quality, serving geothermal, oil and gas, and battery manufacturing sectors.

Products

Li-Capt® selective ion sieve system featuring modular design, >90% extraction efficiency, rapid brine-to-product processing. Produces battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide monohydrate. Minimal chemical usage, zero waste, recyclable filters. Adaptable to different brine compositions.

Recent Projects

In 2024, GEOLITH formed an exclusive alliance with KBR to expand DLE technology globally. By the end of 2024, it will launch a demonstration plant in California for continental lake brine extraction. In 2025, GEOLITH plans to build a columns factory to increase production capacity.

Investors

In 2023, Kuenheim Familiaris led the Series A round, with investment also from Eurodia, raising a total of $1.4M.
