Mangrove Lithium is commercializing a feedstock-flexible electrochemical refining process that converts various lithium inputs into battery-grade lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate, aiming to cut costs, carbon intensity, and waste relative to conventional methods. Proceeds from its latest raise will fund commissioning of a 1,000-tonne-per-year "Single Stack Plant" in Delta, British Columbia, expected to supply material for about 25,000 electric vehicles annually. The company is also conducting early engineering and site selection for a full-scale facility with up to 20,000-tonne annual capacity—enough for more than 500,000 EVs. By expanding onshore refining, Mangrove seeks to bolster Western battery-materials supply chains and lessen dependence on overseas processing. Existing strategic and financial backers include Breakthrough Energy Ventures, BMW i Ventures, Mitsubishi Corporation, Asahi Kasei, Orion Industrial Ventures, Export Development Canada, and BDC Capital. The firm’s technology and expansion plans position it at the intersection of cleantech manufacturing incentives and growing lithium demand for EV batteries.
