## **Cutting-Edge Technology** for **Domestic Production**

The South Korean plant enables the country to develop a local lithium value chain while reducing dependence on imports. The HPD® technology maximizes yield and minimizes water usage.

## A Key Step for **Low-Carbon Mobility**

Each year, the unit produces enough lithium hydroxide for 600,000 electric vehicle batteries.
