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.
Our refinery will be the UK’s flagship midstream facility, built to produce battery-grade lithium chemicals at commercial scale.
By fostering local talent and engaging with regional stakeholders, we’re also creating skilled jobs and long-term economic growth for Teesside and beyond.
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.
