(Oilandgaspress) -–KBR has made a strategic investment in Geolith, a global leader in Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE). This investment will support the global commercial deployment of Geolith’s DLE Li-Capt® technology.

In 2024, KBR and GeoLith entered into an exclusive alliance agreement and this investment further advances a shared strategy to bring scalable, cost-efficient and low-impact lithium production pathways to battery and energy storage markets. By offering Geolith’s highly selective and efficient DLE Li-Capt technology with KBR’s PureLi® refining and conversion technology, KBR delivers a fully integrated, end-to-end solution from lithium extraction to battery-grade lithium production.

KBR also brings to clients its global engineering, procurement and project delivery expertise, along with a proven track record of delivering complex projects across the energy sector and is well positioned to de-risk projects and accelerate time to market.

The strengthened collaboration is already supported by a growing pipeline of global projects targeting both traditional brine resources and new opportunities such as produced water from the upstream energy industry, unlocking lithium supply with a significantly lower environmental footprint.

Together, KBR and Geolith will continue to develop and deploy integrated solutions that enable clients to meet increasing demand while adhering to environmental and operational standards.
