A clean energy future starts in Nevada

We are working to complete Nevada’s “Lithium Loop” – a lithium economy that includes extraction, processing, battery manufacturing and recycling. This supports quality jobs and economic growth while building a resilient, sustainable future.

The Lithium Loop starts here

Creating a circular battery economy 

Nevada Tech Hub is a consortium of government, industry, education and nonprofit organizations all aligning toward a common goal: leverage Nevada’s rich natural resources and develop a full-spectrum lithium economy within the state.

Workforce Development

Collaborating with government, industry and education institutions to increase edification and improve access to training that prepares individuals to meet future workforce demands.

Indigenous Relations

Through the development of Native Nations Center, under the Office of Indigenous Relations, working to ensure Indigenous communities are actively engaged in workforce development opportunities and collaboratively building pathways to employment.

Supply Chain Optimization

Assessing Nevada’s lithium supply chain to pinpoint gaps and identify targeted solutions.
