  • Alberta Brines to Battery-Grade Lithium: 2024 Demonstration Program

    E3 Lithium (E3) is proposing to produce battery grade Lithium Carbonate (LC) from locally sourced brine in Alberta, using a direct lithium extraction (DLE) process. The DLE process involves the deployment of sorbent materials that selectively capture lithium-ions from the brine while excluding other ions. E3 also plans to incorporate water recycling to create a

  • Nitrogen to Eliminate Tank Venting

    Storage tanks are a significant source of emissions in the oil and gas industry. Recent studies estimate that these tanks account for a quarter of all methane emissions from upstream oil and gas operations. The proposed project, Nitrogen to Eliminate Tank Venting, seeks to eliminate the practice of routine tank venting through the use of
