a leader in 'white oil' lithium materials in the fourth industry. Even at this moment, the world is passing on clear skies and clean earth conditions to future generations. We are making various efforts to prevent global warming. As part of the plan, it is considered an eco-friendly vehicle instead of diesel and gasoline vehicles, an internal combustion engine. Electric vehicles with lithium batteries are emerging as a powerful solution.

Our country has the world's best lithium-cell manufacturing technology and companies, but with that alone, Not competitive. This is because securing lithium materials is paramount. Lithium is a key material for lithium batteries, and the market is expanding with the rapid growth of the electric vehicle market. However, it is a key resource that relies entirely on foreign imports.

EcoPro Innovation was established to supply and demand core materials of EcoPro. Develops the manufacturing and processing technology of lithium compounds, a key material for lithium batteries. I have secured a value chain for lithium batteries.

Crushing and drying of ultra-pure carbonate and lithium hydroxide, currently used in eco-probim, etc. And we manufacture and supply lithium nickel oxide, an electrode additive. EcoProinnovation also makes battery-grade lithium hydroxide from low-purity lithium. Securing lithium resources, a key ingredient in the fourth industry, and completing the process technology. We are also working on securing the technology for waste lithium recyclables.
