Saudi Arabia plans commercial pilot programme for lithium extraction from oilfield brine

^{Published on 2024-12-18 22:22:17 - MSN}

Saudi Arabia has successfully extracted lithium from brine samples from Aramco's oilfields, according to the vice-minister of mining affairs. The country plans to launch a commercial pilot programme for direct extraction soon.

Saudi Arabia is set to launch a commercial pilot program aimed at extracting lithium from oilfield brine, as reported by Bloomberg. This initiative is part of the country's broader strategy to diversify its economy away from oil dependency and to capitalize on the growing demand for lithium, a critical component in electric vehicle batteries. The project will be spearheaded by the Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma'aden) in collaboration with Aramco, focusing on extracting lithium from the brine produced during oil and gas operations. This move not only aims to tap into the lucrative battery market but also aligns with global trends towards sustainable energy solutions. The pilot program will assess the feasibility and economic viability of large-scale lithium extraction, potentially positioning Saudi Arabia as a significant player in the global lithium supply chain.
