Stardust Power's strategic lithium chloride supply agreement aims to bolster America's energy security through a resilient domestic supply chain.Muskogee TodayStardust Power Inc., an American developer of battery-grade lithium carbonate, has announced that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with a strategic counterparty for the supply of up to 15,000 metric tons per annum of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in the form of lithium chloride. This potential supply represents a key step in securing U.S.-based feedstock for the company's Muskogee, Oklahoma refinery as it advances toward construction.
Why it matters
Securing a reliable and flexible feedstock base is a core component of Stardust Power's commercial and operational strategy as it looks to support the growing U.S. energy storage market and energy security. The company's Muskogee refinery is designed to deliver scalable refining capacity, with proximity to the Port of Muskogee's Free Trade Zone and established road, rail, and water access.
The details
The LOI relates to a lithium brine project in California and reflects continued progress in expanding the company's domestic feedstock pipeline. Initial deliveries are contemplated beginning in the first half of 2028, with feedstock delivered to the company's Oklahoma facility. The agreement would give Stardust Power the right to purchase additional volumes at its discretion.
- The LOI is non-binding and subject to further due diligence and the execution of a definitive agreement, which there is no certainty of execution.
- Initial deliveries are contemplated beginning in the first half of 2028.
