Claros Technologies, Kureha Partner to Power Clean Technologies by Capturing Valuable Metals in Oil- and Gas-Produced Water
Produced water from offshore oil and gas drilling has high concentrations of useful metals such as lithium, which is needed for electric vehicles and consumer electronics.
- Produced water from offshore oil and gas drilling has high concentrations of useful metals such as lithium, which is needed for electric vehicles and consumer electronics.
- The 12-month project will develop a nanosorbent technology that can recover lithium, zinc, and cadmium from produced water for reuse.
- This transition will not be meaningful or successful unless it is associated with the recovery and reuse of these important metals.
- "We asked Claros to partner with us again because we trust their science," said Naomitsu Nishihata, president and CEO, Kureha America.
