The United States just took a major step toward securing its energy future. With President Donald Trump’s administration announcing plans to fast-track permitting for ten critical mineral projects—including lithium—America is signaling its commitment to domestic resource independence. As highlighted in Reuters, this move aligns perfectly with what we’re building at EnergyX: a smarter, faster, and more sustainable path to powering the next generation of clean energy technologies.
A Bold Step Toward Critical Mineral Independence
Fast-tracking projects under the FAST-41 initiative is a bold and necessary step. With global demand for lithium skyrocketing and foreign supply chains strained by geopolitical risk, America must secure its own domestic sources of critical minerals—efficiently and responsibly.
At EnergyX, we’ve long believed the solution isn’t just about mining more lithium—it’s about extracting it smarter.
EnergyX: Delivering the Technology Behind the Policy
Our patented LiTAS® technology is engineered for this moment. As U.S. policymakers remove roadblocks to mining, EnergyX is ready to equip operators with the tools to extract lithium faster, cleaner, and with far greater efficiency.
Our direct lithium extraction platform:
- Recovers up to 90% of lithium from brine sources
- Reduces processing time from months to just days
- Minimizes water use and power consumption—preserving local ecosystems
Standard Lithium’s inclusion in the fast-tracked list confirms what we’ve known for years: DLE is the future, and the U.S. is finally embracing it.
This Is Our Moment
America’s path to energy dominance will be paved with innovation—and at EnergyX, we’re building that road. President Trump’s initiative to speed up permitting is only part of the equation. It must be paired with next-generation technologies that actually deliver on performance, sustainability, and speed.
We’re proud to be leading that charge.
This is more than a policy shift. It’s a pivotal moment for the clean energy economy—and EnergyX is ready to ensure that lithium is no longer a bottleneck, but a competitive advantage for the United States.
