日本的Kurita和英国的Evove伙伴将DLE技术用于可持续的锂,并于2025年11月首次启动工厂。 Japan’s Kurita and UK’s Evove partner to deploy DLE tech for sustainable lithium, launching first plants in Nov 2025.

2025年10月7日宣布, 日本水产工业(Kurita Water Industries)与英国Evove(Evove)结成新伙伴关系, 目的是加速部署直接提取锂技术(DLE)以满足全球不断增长的需求。 A new partnership between Japan’s Kurita Water Industries and UK-based Evove, announced October 7, 2025, aims to accelerate deployment of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology to meet rising global demand. 该联盟将Evove的过滤技术与Kurita的工程专业知识结合起来,目标是利用地热水、蓄水层和石油/气体废水进行可持续的锂生产。 The alliance combines Evove’s filtration tech with Kurita’s engineering expertise, targeting sustainable lithium production from geothermal brine, aquifers, and oil/gas wastewater. 第一批商业工厂定于2025年11月启动,联合王国在Durham县的一个项目预计将在2027年底开始运营,到2035年最终将达到每年20,000吨以上。 First commercial plants are set to launch in November 2025, with a UK project in County Durham expected to begin operations by late 2027, eventually scaling to over 20,000 tonnes annually by 2035. 库里塔成为Evove最大的股东, 获得了部署DLE系统的专有权利, Kurita becomes Evove’s largest shareholder and gains exclusive rights to deploy its DLE systems, plus non-exclusive access to its upcoming Separonics filtration tech. 该倡议支持联合王国推动当地低功率锂供应电力车辆和电池,减少对动荡的全球市场的依赖,降低联合王国-欧盟贸易协定规定的关税。 The initiative supports the UK’s push for local, low-impact lithium supply to power electric vehicles and batteries, reducing reliance on volatile global markets and tariffs under the UK-EU Trade Agreement.
