Project Description:
American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) and partners will build, and operate a commercial-scale facility to
demonstrate its novel process for manufacturing battery cathode grade lithium hydroxide (LIOH) from
unconventional Nevada-based lithium-bearing sedimentary resources. Through this demonstration, the domestic-
U.S. lithium resource base can be expanded and create a more resilient U.S. battery manufacturing supply chain.
ABTC has secured over 10,000 acres of these lithium-bearing sedimentary resources near Tonopah, NV, and its
project team has been performing work under an existing grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's
Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) to demonstrate this process in an integrated multi-ton per day field
demonstration system. With the support of this Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grant award, a 5,000 MT (metric
tonnes) LiOH/year commercial processing plant will be constructed and operated at this resource site, with the
capacity of the facility to subsequently be expanded to 30,000 MT LIOH/year.
