THE PREMIER FORUM FOR SUSTAINABLE LITHIUM PRODUCTION IN EUROPE

Welcome to Direct Lithium Extraction Europe 2026, where leaders from the oil and gas, e-mobility, and geothermal energy sectors unite to explore the latest innovations in lithium extraction technologies.

The global lithium industry faces significant challenges, including climate change, soil degradation, and water scarcity. This event highlights next-generation sustainable extraction processes that aim to accelerate production, minimise water and reagent use, and reduce dependence on traditional mining and evaporation ponds.

Join us to connect with industry experts, explore sustainable solutions, and help shape the future of lithium extraction technologies.
