Mangrove's Clear-Li platform converts lithium chloride or sulfate into battery-grade hydroxide or carbonate. The modular electrochemical refining step connects upstream extraction or recycling with downstream battery-material manufacture.
Technical detail
Core features
Lithium-salt conversion into battery-grade products
Modular integration with producers, recyclers and battery manufacturers
Commercial electrochemical refining facility opened in Delta, British Columbia
Lithium-refining
Electrochemistry
Use & integration
Recorded applications
Domestic battery-grade lithium refining
Critical-mineral supply-chain localization
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
NRCan confirms Delta's April 2026 opening. Elevra's August binding feedstock agreement concerns a separate proposed Eastern Canadian facility and remains conditional on financing, final investment decision and commercial-operation milestones.
Commercial availability
Project-specific refining and feedstock arrangements provide the access route. The planned expansion's supply agreement should be assessed separately from current Delta capacity.

Modular production of lithium hydroxide and carbonate
Mangrove's Clear-Li electrochemical platform refines lithium chloride or sulfate into battery-grade hydroxide or carbonate. The modular platform sits between lithium extraction and cathode manufacture and can serve producers, recyclers or battery manufacturers. The commercial route is project-specific refining integration and supply agreements, with feedstock and product specifications determining scope.

Natural Resources Canada's public evidence confirms a company-specific project, award, program or operating context, while configuration-specific acceptance and scale remain bounded by the reviewer warning.
Elevra's August 2026 binding concentrate-supply agreement concerns Mangrove's proposed 20,000-tonne-per-year LCE facility in Eastern Canada, separate from Delta. Supply obligations remain conditional on financing, final investment decision and sustained commercial operation; the binding agreement is not evidence of completed expansion.
