Sustainable Projects Group, a US company that develops natural resources, is building a new lithium carbonate plant.
Their company, Lithium Harvest, plans to start manufacturing lithium carbonate in Alberta, Canada. The plant will have a yearly capacity of 9,000 metric tons. It will use a special technology called Direct Lithium Extraction, which requires less water than regular lithium mining.
The plant will get lithium from underground pools of water called brine. It is expected to be ready to use in the second half of 2026. Once finished, this plant will produce more than double the amount of lithium Canada currently makes.
Sune Mathiesen, the CEO of Sustainable Projects Group, said that after a period where there was too much lithium, we are now facing a shortage. It usually takes about 18 years to get a new mine running. But their method of using lithium already available in the ground means they can start this project within about 18 months.
I’m Rohan Mehta, the voice behind KhelRe—a trusted and steadily growing blog dedicated to electric vehicles (EVs) in India. With over five years of experience as a tech and automotive blogger, I turned my frustrations with owning an EV into a mission: to help others make more intelligent choices in this fast-evolving world of electric mobility.
I’ve been an early adopter of EV technology—I repurchased my first electric scooter in 2019. That experience opened my eyes to both the promises and the pitfalls of this new mode of transport. From slow charging times and range anxiety to misleading specs and hidden costs, I’ve faced it all. But instead of walking away, I decided to write about it.
That’s how KhelRe was born—a no-nonsense, hands-on blog where I share practical, real-world reviews of EV cars, bikes, and scooters. I break down features, range, performance, and pricing from a user-first perspective. I take pride in simplifying complex tech into clear, valuable insights—offering tips, ownership stories, and advice you won’t find in flashy press releases or sales brochures.
Whether you’re a first-time EV buyer or just a curious auto enthusiast, my goal is to help you navigate the EV landscape with confidence. My motto: “EV knowledge should come from experience, not just brochures.”
When I’m not test-driving the latest e-scooter or comparing charging networks, you’ll probably find me tinkering with my garage EV setup, chatting with fellow enthusiasts online, or sipping chai while writing my next blog post from a cosy local café.
