Company Overview

Lilac Solutions, founded in 2016 and based in Oakland, California, specializes in innovative lithium extraction technology designed for the electric vehicle era. The company develops and implements advanced ion exchange (IX) technology to transform how lithium is obtained from brine resources, addressing global demand for lithium in electric vehicle batteries and energy storage while promoting sustainable production.

Battery Technology

Patented ion exchange technology using specialized ceramic beads to extract lithium from salar, geothermal, and oilfield brines. Beads absorb lithium, then hydrochloric acid elutes lithium as lithium chloride, which is processed into lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide. Process reduces water use by up to 90%, eliminates evaporation ponds, and maintains high efficiency with minimal environmental impact.

Products

Gen 4 IX technology introduced in 2024, capable of extracting lithium from low-concentration, high-impurity brines using durable ceramic ion exchange beads, achieving high recovery rates.

Recent Projects

2024 funding of $145 million to establish a U.S. lithium supply chain; projects at Utah’s Great Salt Lake; commissioned a demonstration plant in Jujuy, Argentina.

Investors

Raised $318.5M across funding rounds; Series C led by Mercuria and Lowercarbon Capital; other investors include Breakthrough Energy Ventures, T. Rowe Price Association, BMW i Ventures, Mitsubishi Corporation, and The Nature Conservancy.
