Largest agreements

ELECTROLYSIS FOR LITHIUM PRODUCTION AND RECYCLING$4.5Mvalue2024start2027end

The purpose of this agreement is to support the development of Canadian critical minerals value chains.

Development of Two-Compartment Lithium Electrolyser$3.0Mvalue2026start2028end

The project is focused on developing next‑generation electrolysis processing technology to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and cost‑effectiveness of lithium refining and other critical mineral processing applications. It aims to advance clean, Canadian‑made technology that supports low‑carbon production of materials essential to the global energy transition.

LITHCOAT - Alternative coatings for lithium electrolysis$401Kvalue2025start2027end

This project focuses on optimizing the composition of the anode electrode coating to enhance process efficiency and reduce both capital and operating costs associated with lithium salt electrolysis.

Extraction of Lithium from black mass and Lithium Hydroxide production$300Kvalue2026start2027end

The Project, a collaboration between the NRC and NORAM Electrolysis Systems Inc. (NESI) includes three work scopes. The NRC will provide NESI with a Lithium rich brine produced via two lithium extraction processes, a solvent-based approach and a Lithium leaching approach. NESI will process the Lithium streams using NESI's proprietary electrolysis and pre-treatment technologies. Then, NESI will take the electrochemical cell products and further process them by evaporation crystallization and other concentration and purification methods to form a battery grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM)

Lithium electrolysis piloting facility$250Kvalue2024start2025end

The firm has developed an industrial membrane electrolysis process and electrolyser cell equipment for the electrochemical conversion of lithium chloride or lithium sulphate solutions into battery grade lithium hydroxide. Broadly, our clients are in the mineral processing, lithium-ion battery production and recycling sectors. Increasingly, clients are looking for the firm to take on a larger scope in pre-treatment of their unique brines, which is critical for electrolysis performance. This project aims to develop and improve a number of Firm’s specific brine treatment processes to improve o

AI Assist for Data Analysis and Process Optimization for Voltage Monitoring System$75.0Kvalue2024start2025end

The firm has developed a commercial scale technology for the production and recycling of high purity lithium hydroxide for use in the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries. An industrial electrolyser system incorporates hundreds of individual unit cells. Each unit cell includes an anode electrode with a catalyst coating, a cathode electrode, and an ion exchange membrane. The project will involve integrating a voltage monitoring system into the firm's Electrolyser to be able to monitor and optimize the performance of the electrolysis system.

Youth - Chemical and Process Engineering$30.0Kvalue2024start2025end

To provide technical employment for a youth in the field of chemical process engineering.

IP Assist: Intellectual Property Strategy Engagement$13.4Kvalue2022start2023end

Evaluation of firm's acquired IP with prior art and currently pursued R&D to arrive at comprehensive IP strategy
