Lithium Ark is developing its first European facility in the heart of the Port of Antwerp chemical cluster. Designed to aggregate lithium chloride from diversified global sources and refine it locally with zero soda ash.
Ark Loop Antwerp solves the logistics and geopolitical bottleneck by importing LiCl rather than transporting volatile refined chemicals, refining locally at industrial scale.
Designed to aggregate intermediate lithium chloride from diversified global producers (South American salars, Australian hard rock, and emerging DLE brine assets), mitigating single-asset geopolitical risk.
Situated in Europe's most integrated chemical cluster. Direct access to deep-sea maritime bulk berths, existing utility networks, green power infrastructure, and shared industrial services.
Short, traceable overland rail and road supply lines directly to major cathode and battery gigafactories across Germany, France, Belgium, and Scandinavia, eliminating transoceanic chemical shipping risks.
The EU Critical Raw Materials Act mandates that at least 40% of strategic processing occur within Europe by 2030. Ark Loop Antwerp is purposefully structured to meet this benchmark.
Direct contribution to the EU's strategic processing targets for battery-grade lithium chemicals on European soil.
Up to 89% lower carbon emissions and 75% less water consumption than conventional overseas spodumene roasting routes.
Protected by granted European patents, alongside US and Chilean coverage, securing the technological foundation.
Led by Qualified Persons (Peter Ehren, Macarena González) with decades of lithium process design experience.
We welcome discussions with lithium feedstock producers, battery ecosystem off-takers, and industrial partners interested in collaborating on the Antwerp facility.
