Wait for stronger evidence
- Why
- Electrochemical ALE is promising and federally backed but only has lab/field-pilot durability hours; commercial-scale recovery, purity, and cost are not yet demonstrated or independently verified.
- Next
- Revisit after the ARPA-E-funded 100 tpa-LCE Arkansas pilot reports 12 months of operating data (recovery, purity, $/tonne) — the first chance to test the 40% cost claim at credible scale.
