Lilac's plant at Kachi is now producing lithium chloride on spec with 80% lithium recovery. Cheers to our partners @lake_resources and our on-site operations team who worked 24/7 to hit this milestone just one month into wet commissioning. 🦩🦩🦩
I’m proud to join @SenCortezMasto in applauding this investment from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law coming to Nevada to expand domestic manufacturing of batteries for electric vehicles and the electrical grid. Congrats @abt_company and @Lilac_Solutions!
The future of vehicles is electric. But right now, nearly 75 percent of battery manufacturing is done in China. My infrastructure law invests in America's battery supply chain, and I’m proud to announce 20 companies are being awarded $2.8 billion of that funding.
