Electroflow

Market position

The company frames its addressable opportunity around North American brines, which it states contain enough lithium to produce over 300 million electric vehicles while remaining largely untapped, and around the dilute (sub-200 ppm) fraction of those resources that it says incumbent direct lithium extraction technology does not reach.

Technology

Electroflow's approach targets lithium extraction from dilute brines, which the company defines as brines containing under 200 ppm lithium, a segment it contrasts with incumbent direct lithium extraction technology aimed at brines above 200 ppm. The company describes the traditional brine-to-LFP pathway as requiring ten steps, a multistep process associated with high lithium losses and large consumption of water and chemicals, and positions its own technology as reducing water and hazardous chemical use. Internal engineering functions include electrochemistry, electrode fabrication, cathode synthesis, and controls and mechanical engineering, consistent with an electrochemical extraction and materials-processing development effort.

Go-to-market

The company recruits through LinkedIn job postings, references partners on its website, and directs business inquiries to a general company email address.

The company orients its output toward battery materials production in the United States, describing a brine-to-battery-materials and brine-to-LFP value chain relevant to electric vehicle and clean energy supply chains.

Geography

Headquartered at 1162 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, California, with a resource focus on brine deposits in North America and an emphasis on domestic US lithium production.
