with 🎙️ Teague Egan - CEO & Founder of EnergyX
💧 EnergyX is on a mission to become a worldwide leader in the global transition to sustainable energy
What we covered:
🌵 How the story of EnergyX started in the salt flats of Uyuni with Teague Egan's initiatory journey to Bolivia
🗓️ How EnergyX has a masterplan and how this one goes beyond "just" supplying lithium extraction technology to the World
🔒 How the company's claims of a disruptive approach to direct lithium extraction are backed by an impressive amount of patents all along the value chain
☀️ What the problem with existing lithium evaporation ponds is, and how that offers significant potential for improvement for new technologies
📜 How lithium-ion battery legend and Nobel Prize recipient John Goodenough endorsed EnergyX's efforts in the battery space and how the company breeds his legacy
4️⃣ The four key aspects to consider when working on a lithium extraction process
🚱 How EnergyX's take at Direct Lithium Extraction needs water neither on the membrane nor on the solvent extraction side
🛑 How the company got kicked out of Bolivia's lithium tender for questionable reasons, and how they might come back in the game given their unique technological perks
🚼 How pure end-to-end DLE probably is the future of lithium extraction, but how DLE enhanced ponds are the best hybrid for a smooth transition
💰 How Global Emerging Markets Group placed a $450 million check on the table for the day EnergyX goes public, what it enables, and what it involves
🚀 How you scale a lithium extraction approach from pilot to demo and ultimately down the road to commercial-scale applications
👨🔬 EnergyX's Edisonian approach, the special sauce to the company's lithium extraction process, the lowest permissible lithium concentration for their technology (and why it's different than their competition), the company's bet as to the place where it will go full-scale first... and much more!
