Who We Are
WHO WE ARE
LiPower is a U.S. based geothermal and critical minerals development company operating in the Imperial Valley in California.
Wholly owned by Pollination, an Australian-based, global development, investment and advisory firm, LiPower is developing a project that involves the production of lithium from geothermal brines via Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE).
Backed by Mizuho and ANZ Bank, the Pollination team has extensive experience in energy, infrastructure and resource development.

WHY IMPERIAL VALLEY
Proximity to U.S. Battery Supply Chains
World-class geothermal resource
The Salton Sea geothermal field is one of the most energy-dense geothermal resources in North America. The LiPower site’s shallow thermal gradients – reaching 264°C/km – are among the strongest recorded in the region.
High lithium brine concentrations
The hypersaline brines underlying Imperial Valley contain some of the highest lithium concentrations of any known geothermal system globally, making DLE economically and technically attractive.
Proximity to U.S. battery supply chains
Located close to major battery manufacturing investment corridors in California and the Southwest, LiPower’s output directly supports US domestic critical minerals supply independence.
Minimal environmental footprint
DLE requires no open-pit mining, no evaporation ponds, and returns brine to the subsurface. The sub-49MW plant qualifies for streamlined CEQA permitting, significantly reducing regulatory risk and timeline.
