Aramco and NESR are launching Saudi Arabia's first direct lithium extraction project to produce 2,000 tonnes per annum of battery-grade lithium carbonate by late 2027, leveraging modular DLE technology that may enable future scale-up and support a domestic battery-materials supply chain.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Saudi Arabia is stepping beyond oil with lithium. If you work in battery materials, expect new regional supply and a potential supplier needing battery-grade partners soon.
