Lithium extraction is getting a serious upgrade, thanks to the team at LiTHOS. Scott Taylor and Dino LaCapra join us to talk about their game-changing electro-pressure membrane tech—this thing pulls lithium from brine without guzzling water or dumping chemicals everywhere. With the EV and grid storage boom, sustainable lithium production isn’t just important; it’s crucial. Scott and Dino share their journey from oil & gas to the cutting-edge lithium space, the challenges they’ve tackled, and why the U.S. needs to step up its lithium game. Plus, we dive into how LiTHOS’s approach could reshape not only the lithium market but the future of energy itself.
