Project overview and strategic partnership

• Three partners collaborate to develop sustainable petalite conversion for battery-grade lithium in Namibia.

• EU funding supports research, technology transfer, and pilot-scale testing.

• Focus on scalable, lower-intensity lithium extraction with environmental and social governance.

Technical approach and innovation

• Shift from maximizing concentrate grade to optimizing whole-system recovery and conversion.

• Targeting 3.5% Li₂O feed for conversion, reducing beneficiation intensity and processing costs.

• Direct alkaline leach of petalite aims to avoid energy-intensive calcination.

• Validation tests focus on metal recovery, water optimization, and residue management.

Environmental and social governance

• Closed-loop water management and dense-media recycling are prioritized for arid conditions.

• Residue and by-products are assessed for recovery, reuse, or safe disposal.

• Vocational training and skills transfer initiatives support local workforce development.
