Gradiant alkaLi

A Boston-based company, Gradiant, issued a press release to make a really big, really important announcement: The company’s lithium business, called alkaLi, will design, build, own, and operate a commercial lithium production facility in the Marcellus Shale Formation of Pennsylvania beginning in early 2026. The unidentified site, which is already built and in testing, will be “the world’s first to Extract, Concentrate, and Convert (EC²) lithium in a fully integrated, end-to-end process from oilfield produced water,” according to the announcement. The company stated that this facility in the PA Marcellus “could supply 50% of U.S. lithium demand.” Wow! UPDATE: We now have a fix on the location of this facility thanks to a sharp MDN reader.
