Piedmont Lithium’s core technology produces battery-grade lithium hydroxide from spodumene concentrate via an integrated process from mining to hydroxide production. Its Tennessee Lithium project will yield 30,000 metric tons annually and the $1.2 billion Carolina Lithium project will produce 33,000 tons per year over 11 years. Advanced processing methods ensure high-purity lithium hydroxide with water management and dust reduction systems for environmental sustainability.
Battery-grade lithium hydroxide produced from spodumene concentrate, with annual capacities of 30,000 metric tons at the Tennessee Lithium facility and 33,000 metric tons over 11 years at the Carolina Lithium project, designed for next-generation EV battery performance and range.
In 2024 Piedmont Lithium signed an all-stock merger agreement with Sayona Mining to form North America’s largest lithium producer; shipped a record 55,700 dmt of spodumene concentrate from its North American Lithium operation; and integrated the Tennessee Lithium project into the Carolina Lithium facility as a second production line.
