Sigma Lithium Corp (TSX-V:SGML, NASDAQ:SGML) has announced its official sponsorship of The Aspen-Columbia Global Energy Forum as part of its commitment to the environmental sustainability of the lithium mining industry through innovation and global collaboration.
The company said it will also participate in the three-day forum, which takes place in Paris, France from June 11 to 13, 2023.
The forum, a collaborative effort between The Aspen Institute's Energy & Environment Program and The Center on Global Energy Policy, gathers leaders from around the world representing a range of industries, governments, thought leaders and global institutions to discuss global energy transitions, markets, geopolitics, and security.
“We are honored to join the group of corporate sponsors partnering with the Aspen Institute and Columbia University,” Sigma Lithium CEO and co-chairperson Ana Cabral-Gardner said in a statement.
“As the urgency of climate change and its far-reaching implications continue to grow, this collaboration between public and private sectors to provide solutions for greater environmental sustainability in the energy transition is of critical importance, as it increases dialogue and understanding. Successfully navigating the implementation of new industrial and trade policies, as well as future C-bans by the large consumer countries is one of the greatest challenges for global suppliers of battery materials.”
Sigma Lithium is currently producing Green Lithium from its Grota do Cirilo Project in Brazil. Phase 1 of the project is expected to produce 270,000 tonnes of Green Lithium annually.
Phase 2 & 3 of the project are expected to increase production to 766,000 tonnes annually, assuming the detailed engineering workstream and FEL3 CAPEX assessment currently being conducted by DRA supports an investment decision.
The project produces Green Lithium in a state-of-the-art Greentech lithium plant that uses 100% renewable energy, 100% recycled water and 100% dry-stacked tailings.
