The goal for E3 is to separate lithium from the aquifer of the Leduc reservoir for use in electric vehicle and battery technology. E3 is attempting to use an ionization process, which will separate lithium from the brine left over from oil extraction by drilling into the aquifer below the reserve. Once the lithium has been extracted, the remaining water will be returned to the aquifer.Article contentthat the proprietary process will have only three per cent of the carbon footprint of other processes, while yielding a much higher-grade product. Their technology differs from other efforts as it does not require evaporation.
Once up and running, he said the Clearwater project will produce 20,000 tonnes of sustainable lithium a year for the next 20 to 30 years. E3 drilled its first pilot well in June, east of Olds, has since drilled a second hole and purchased a third. The holes are part of the pre-feasibility study of the 12- to 18-month pilot project.
