It was great to see our Founder, Chairman and CEO, Emilie Bodoin, discuss how Pure Lithium’s battery technology can significantly reduce countries’ dependence on China for battery materials, in an interview with Japanese News Agency Jiji Press. "We need to break away from our dependence on China by transitioning to new technologies,” Bodoin said. “If Japan prioritizes weaning itself off its reliance on China, this is the path it should take." China dominates the global market for graphite, the principal material in lithium-ion battery cathodes. Pure Lithium’s next-generation lithium metal battery doesn’t use any graphite, nickel, cobalt or manganese, enabling closed-loop domestic production within countries that possess the necessary raw materials. Emilie was recently in Japan to take part in the FII Institute’s PRIORITY Asia 2025 summit in Tokyo, a global gathering of thought leaders across industry, science, academia and finance to develop concrete strategies that address the pressing issues attracting global attention.

Pure Lithium’s solution to today’s “inefficient and chaotic” global battery supply chain is to completely reinvent the way batteries are made, our Founder, Chairman and CEO Emilie Bodoin explained at the FII PRIORITY Asia 2025 summit in Tokyo. “It takes over 500 days for lithium to get from the ground into your battery and 55,000 miles around the globe,” she said. “That is not resilient or efficient and it’s pretty energy-intensive. We can electrodeposit lithium, we combine basically extraction and anode production. So I make half the battery in a day. That’s a big, big game changer.” Fadi Saadeh, Acting CEO and Head of Technology at VCM, joined Emilie Bodoin for the panel discussion “Securing the New Industrial Supply Chain.” Our sincere gratitude to moderator Atul Arya President and Chief Energy Strategist at S&P Global and a highly respected leader across the energy industry for his excellent questions. Introduced by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, the summit brings together thought leaders from industry, science, academia, finance to pioneer solutions that transcend industries and geographies. Emilie explained how our, lighter, cheaper to produce, more energy efficient and more energy dense lithium metal battery can be sourced and produced within any country where the materials are available, such as Saudi Arabia, Australia and North America. Japan, a battery technology pioneer, could be an ideal partner in deploying our technology worldwide, she said.

We are really looking forward to the FII Priority Asia 2025 summit in Tokyo, where our Founder, Chairman and CEO, Emilie Bodoin, will discuss how innovations such as Pure Lithium’s lithium metal battery can change the landscape of energy storage and global supply chains. Emilie Bodoin will share the stage with Fadi Saadeh, Acting CEO and Head of Technology, VCM, in a discussion of technology’s role in securing supply chains from raw materials to the factory floor. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Atul Arya, Chief Energy Strategist, S&P Global Energy. Pure Lithium is developing the world’s first commercially viable lithium metal battery. It outperforms the incumbent lithium-ion battery in every metric, achieving over 5,500 cycles at 100% depth of discharge at excellent charge rates of 1C: 1C, and is safer and cheaper to produce. Our patented Brine to Battery™ technology, which combines lithium extraction and anode production, enables us to eliminate far-reaching supply chains associated with lithium-ion because our lithium metal battery doesn’t rely on commonly imported battery materials such as graphite, nickel, cobalt and manganese. Building on the FII Institute’s flagship annual conference in Riyadh, the FII Priority Summits bring together thought leaders from industry, science, academia, finance and more to develop concrete strategies that address the pressing issues attracting global attention.

Our Founder, Chairman and CEO, Emilie Bodoin, joined the indomitable Joe Lowry’s The Global Lithium Podcast to discuss Pure Lithium’s progress toward commercialization, the power of lithium metal batteries and the fast-approaching redundancy of lithium-ion batteries. Emilie and Joe also discussed how Pure Lithium’s revolutionary Brine to Battery™ technology can achieve Emilie’s goal of “making the cheapest battery on the planet” and enable countries to create their own domestic battery supply chains. Pure Lithium has achieved over 5,500 cycles at 1:C 1:D 100% DOD. Pure Lithium is building a pilot facility at its new headquarters in Chicago. “By combining lithium extraction and anode production, which is what we do, we’re simplifying the supply chain,” Emilie said. “Our chemistry works, and we can achieve this cycle life, and no one else has been able to do that with lithium metal.” Many thanks to 'Mr. Lithium’ Joe Lowry of Global Lithium LLC for his always insightful questions and insights! Such an honor to be on a podcast that has hosted the likes of Dr. Yuan Gao, and thanks again to Joe for facilitating Emilie’s first meeting with Dr. Gao, now advisor to Pure Lithium.
