Pure Lithium and CEO Emilie Bodoin Recognized for Innovations at Reuters Global Energy Transition Awards

via Business Wire

Pure Lithium Corporation, a disruptive vertically integrated lithium metal battery technology company, is pleased to announce that it has won the 2025 Reuters Global Energy Transition award for R&D Achievement.

The award, presented at a June 24th ceremony in New York, recognizes research and development projects that promote a science-oriented energy transition while yielding promising potential and achievement.

Pure Lithium has developed lithium metal batteries with double the energy density of lithium-ion cells and an industry-leading cycle life. By prioritizing research and development, the company achieved step-change advancements in battery technology and has built a strong portfolio of 119 patents and applications.

“We’re thrilled to be selected for this prestigious award, which recognizes the hard work, dedication and creativity of our world-class team,” said 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.”

Bodoin personally received a “highly recommended” recognition as an Innovator in Energy Award. The award celebrates individuals who have made significant contributions to advancing energy production or solutions – including groundbreaking innovation, pioneering new technologies, practices, as well as creating strategies that enhance energy efficiency, sustainability, and accessibility.

Pure Lithium’s Brine to Battery™ technology seamlessly integrates lithium extraction with lithium metal anode production. The technology enables the production of lithium metal batteries in a charged state, simplifying the existing lithium-ion battery manufacturing process by eliminating the need for many steps in the formation and aging process, which account for 35% of gigafactory capex and 41% of associated manufacturing costs. Additionally, Pure Lithium eliminates the use of graphite, nickel, cobalt and manganese with a high-capacity vanadium cathode, effectively dependence on China.

Pure Lithium would like to extend our gratitude to the judges and to Reuters Events for putting on an excellent celebration of energy transition technologies and leadership across industries. As we move toward commercialization of our lithium metal battery, being chosen out of a dynamic group of nominees is a further validation of our efforts to radically transform battery technology.
