TheE+E Leader Product & Project Awards serve as a trusted benchmark, highlighting cutting-edge innovations and real-world success stories.

"The winners of this year’s E+E Leader Awards are tackling some of the most pressing sustainability and energy challenges with real-world, scalable solutions,"Co-President of E+E Leader and C-Suite Compass LLC Sarah Roberts said.

"These projects and products push industry standards forward and are setting new benchmarks for innovation and impact."

"Every year, our judges look to recognise the businesses that are truly moving the needle and striving for sustainability and operational efficiency," VP and head of the E+E Leader Awards program Kay Harrison said.

"This year’s winners exemplify the kind of forward-thinking strategies and technologies that companies need to stay ahead in an increasingly complex energy and environmental landscape."

Novalith is accelerating the transition to a sustainable and electrified future through low-cost and low-impact lithium chemicals.

"We are honoured to receive this recognition from Environment+Energy Leader," Novalith and CEO founder Steven Vassiloudis said.

“Our technology is not just about making the global lithium extraction more sustainable, it is about fundamentally reshaping the way critical battery materials are produced. We believe that lithium should be extracted in a waythat supports both the energy transition and the environment, and this award reinforces the impact of our mission."

Mr Vassiloudis added Novalith’s transformative approach would strengthen domestic lithium supply chains in the West, reducing global dependencies.

“At Novalith, we're solving one of the biggest challenges of the energy transition:How to sustainably and efficiently produce battery-grade lithium chemicals close to where they’re needed most,” he said.

“Our technology enables western nations to localise lithium refining, reduce exposure to geopolitical risk, and secure the materials that power electric vehicles and clean energy infrastructure.”
