Livista to build first lithium refinery in Europe

Livista Energy Europe S.A. plans to build the first low-carbon lithium refinery in Germany in Emden. An agreement in principle has now been reached with port operator Niedersachsen Ports, which still requires approval by the NPorts supervisory board. The refinery is expected to start production in 2026 and fill a critical gap in Europe's supply chains for electric vehicles and batteries, as currently all lithium refineries are operated in Asia.

By locating our first site in Germany – a country with such a clear policy towards electrification and battery cell production – we will have access to the right partners and create even shorter, cleaner, more sustainable supply chains with embedded resilience.
