Welcome To

DLE Xchange 2026 Virtual Conference

Lithium demand is surging as electric mobility and energy storage accelerate worldwide. Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies promise faster, cleaner, and more sustainable recovery of lithium from brines and unconventional resources.

The Direct Lithium Extraction Xchange 2026 will unite industry executives, technology pioneers, investors, and regulators to discuss pathways for scaling DLE and securing the critical mineral supply chain needed for a net-zero future.

Key Agenda Topics

Scaling DLE from Pilot to Commercial Operations

Strategies for overcoming engineering, operational, and supply-chain hurdles to achieve large-scale deployment.

Technology Benchmarking & Innovation

Comparing sorbents, membranes, ion-exchange, and solvent extraction technologies—spotlighting breakthroughs in efficiency, cost, and recovery rates.

Permitting, ESG & Social License to Operate

Addressing regulatory frameworks, environmental standards, water use, and stakeholder engagement to build public trust.

Investment, Risk & Project Finance

Funding models, risk mitigation strategies, and attracting institutional capital for DLE projects.

Integration with the Battery & EV Supply Chain

Ensuring DLE output meets OEM and battery chemistry requirements while securing supply chains for the energy transition.

Sustainability, Resource Efficiency & Circularity

Reducing energy and water intensity, managing brine reinjection, and exploring co-product extraction and closed-loop models.
