Pure Lithium Corporation, a pioneer in vertically integrated lithium metal battery technology, announces its victory in the 2025 Reuters Global Energy Transition Prize for R&D Achievement.
The prize, which will be given out at an event in New York on June 24th, honors research and development initiatives that advance a science-based energy transition while demonstrating both promise and success.
Pure Lithium has created lithium metal batteries that have an industry-leading cycle life and double the energy density of lithium-ion cells. The business has a robust portfolio of 119 patents and applications and has made revolutionary strides in battery technology by putting a high priority on research and development.
“We’re thrilled to be selected for this prestigious award, which recognizes the hard work, dedication and creativity of our world-class team,” stated Pure Lithium Founder and CEO Emilie Bodoin. “We know that commercializing a new chemistry requires a delicate balance of R&D, while maintaining laser focus on practical use cases. At Pure Lithium we have been able to strike that balance and innovate tremendously while in parallel creating a robust technology that is economically viable.”
As an Innovator in Energy Award recipient, Bodoin himself was given a “highly recommended” designation. The award honors those who have significantly advanced energy production or solutions, such as by ground-breaking invention, developing new technologies and techniques, or developing methods that improve accessibility, sustainability, and energy efficiency.
Lithium extraction and the creation of lithium metal anodes are completely integrated by Pure Lithium’s Brine to Battery technology. By removing numerous steps in the formation and aging process, which account for 35% of gigafactory capital expenditures and 41% of related manufacturing costs, the technology makes it possible to produce lithium metal batteries in a charged state, streamlining the current lithium-ion battery manufacturing process. Furthermore, Pure Lithium successfully reduces reliance on China by using a high-capacity vanadium cathode instead of graphite, nickel, cobalt, and manganese.
We would like to thank the judges and Reuters Events for organizing such a great celebration of energy transition technology and industry leadership on behalf of Pure Lithium. Being selected from a competitive pool of nominations is another testament to our efforts to revolutionize battery technology as we advance the commercialization of our lithium metal battery.
