Role within RELiEF

INEGI will lead Work package 8 - Sustainability assessment and Business modelling. Here, INEGI will execute the tasks of developing a data management platform to create accurate and reliable life cycle inventory of the innovative processes developed in RELiEF. These results will help to identify the potential environmental and economic gains of RELiEF’s new approaches to lithium recovery in comparison with current extraction and processing approaches.
