ABOUT US

A New Chapter for British Industry

Right at the heart of the UK’s Teesside Freeport. As demand for battery-grade lithium skyrockets, we’re delivering a world-class, independent solution to one of the energy transition’s biggest bottlenecks: refining capacity.

Tees Valley Lithium (TVL) is leading efforts to secure the future of lithium refining in the UK. Based in the heart of Teesside’s industrial and chemical cluster, we are developing a world-class lithium refining hub to serve Europe’s growing demand for battery materials.

By reducing reliance on overseas processing and delivering a local, low-carbon source of high-purity lithium, TVL will support British and European battery manufacturers as they scale up production.

SUPPORTED IN OUR MISSION

We are backed by Alkemy Capital Investments Plc

Partnerships

We work with global leaders across refining, engineering, energy, and logistics.

Vision

We are building more than a plant - we’re building a future-proof supply chain for the energy transition.

Technology

We use tried and tested technology, operate in a prime location and have a clear focus on sustainability.

Our mission is clear - to create a secure, low-carbon, and scalable supply of high-purity lithium for the European electric vehicle and energy storage markets.

The TVL Refinery

Industry Leading

Our refinery will be the UK’s flagship midstream facility, built to produce battery-grade lithium chemicals at commercial scale.

Supporting the Community

By fostering local talent and engaging with regional stakeholders, we’re also creating skilled jobs and long-term economic growth for Teesside and beyond.

Market Responsiveness

TVL’s output will be enough to power more than 2 million electric vehicles per year – a critical supply as the UK and Europe accelerate electrification.

This is more than a refinery

It’s the foundation of Europe’s clean energy future.

Made in Teesside, built for tomorrow.
