Lithium Extraction Conference 2026
The Direct Lithium Extraction Summit (DLES) 2026 is set to bring together key stakeholders from various sectors, including lithium project development, technology innovation, investment, ESG, and policy, to discuss and explore the future of lithium extraction technologies.
The summit, organised by DLES 2026, a European platform focused on advancing lithium extraction technologies, will delve into several key topics. These include unlocking the full potential of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE), benchmarking DLE technologies, accelerating permitting and regulatory approval for lithium projects, and aligning DLE output with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) requirements.
The strategic roadmap for DLE in the UK & Europe up to 2030 and beyond will also be a focal point of the discussions. This roadmap aims to outline the steps necessary to achieve commercial-grade lithium production efficiently, while minimising environmental impact.
The summit will also address the integration of DLE into geothermal and oilfield brine projects, financing DLE, next-generation sorbents and membranes, AI & automation for real-time monitoring, hybrid DLE systems, retrofitting conventional operations, electrochemical and electrodialysis technologies, engineering for scale, water management and brine reinjection, managing multi-element recovery, designing modular and mobile DLE systems, brine characterisation and classification, real-time lithium monitoring technologies, carbon-neutral lithium extraction, designing DLE for circularity, laboratory testing to pilot plants, designing water-positive lithium projects, data-driven DLE, and panel discussions on scaling DLE in Europe and DLE vs traditional extraction.
The event serves as an exclusive forum where industry experts from sectors like oil & gas, electric vehicles, and geothermal energy can showcase and discuss these cutting-edge advancements and challenges in lithium extraction. It also provides a platform for users to publish their content on EB Publishing, reaching those who matter to them, and utilise the "Publish now" feature to publish their content immediately.
