International Battery Metals has acquired intellectual property from North American Lithium that allows for the extraction of lithium chloride from oil-field brines with minimal pretreatment to remove calcium, magnesium and other "divalent cations". Lithium chloride is removed and the brine is injected back into the ground through an environmentally permitted well. The company is also working on a process called electrolysis, which uses electricity generated by solar panels or wind turbines to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen.
