The investment supports Eurodia's scale-up, driven by strong growth in its markets, the rising number and size of its industrial projects, and its international expansion.
Founded in 1988, Eurodia designs and industrialises custom processes to extract, separate, purify, concentrate and recover components from complex liquids. The company said it is playing a central role in decarbonising industrial processes that still emit too much CO2 and in reducing other environmental externalities, giving its industrial clients efficient and, above all, profitable ways to cut their carbon footprint - saving water, energy and resources and reducing polluting inputs - which is what makes its solutions scalable.
To do this, Eurodia combines a wide range of technologies: electrodialysis (including bipolar), chromatography, adsorption - notably for DLE processes - ion exchange resins and membrane filtration. These solutions address several key challenges of industrial transformation:
-
Lithium: Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE), plus lithium refining and recycling.
-
Decarbonisation: electrifying chemical processes that have historically relied on fossil fuels.
-
Resource efficiency: recovering mineral co-products and cutting water, energy and chemical reagent use.
-
CO2 capture and biobased chemistry: developing the technologies needed for CO2 capture and processes for biobased chemistry.
"Over the past few years, Eurodia has proven the value of its high-tech solutions in tackling key industrial decarbonisation challenges, demonstrating excellent project execution on a large scale, such as the DLE deployment at the Salar del Rincón with Rio Tinto. This partnership also illustrates how French technology can secure access to critical materials for the energy transition. We are proud to support Eurodia in this next chapter of its history," said Mathilde Andrier, Investment Director, Starquest Capital.
