What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20
Proceed with caution
- Why
- Geothermal DLE has real capital and DOE backing and is near commercial, but the specific desalination co-production angle is early; selectivity and brine-discharge risk gate the seawater/coastal variant
- Next
- Monitor ATLiS 2026 trial-operations data (actual LiOH output, water consumption) and Smackover 2028 commercial start; treat SDLE water-coproduction as a research watch item pending a pilot with measured water-recovery and Li-recovery yields
