About Novalith
Novalith is a clean technology company enabling a decarbonised and electric future.
We aim to do this by becoming the world's first low-cost & sustainable solution for developing novel technologies to extract lithium from various ores and produce high grade battery chemicals.
Through our innovations and development, we're creating a sustainable future in the resource sector.
Our goal is to commercialise a green lithium chemicals production process to reduce the environmental impact of lithium production for use in batteries and related applications.
Novalith's technology directly utilises carbon dioxide to produce a high purity, battery grade lithium carbonate and other battery chemicals.
We are a perfect place for bright minds, risk-takers and those full of ambition.
We're proud of what we've achieved thus far, but we have room for more like-minded individuals.
