Profile

Chemshift Technologies is a Canadian cleantech business striving to transform the North American lithium value chain. Founded in April 2024 and headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the company has raised $445k to date in non-dilutive and dilutive funds. Chemshift is developing innovative refining technology to produce low-cost, environmentally efficient, locally made battery-grade lithium materials for direct use in EV batteries. Their proprietary technology simplifies the lithium refining process, reducing it from multiple complex stages to a streamlined process that eliminates 55kg of CO2 per EV and could save North American OEMs $1.4B while removing 600,000 tonnes of CO2 by 2035. The company aims to unlock lithium refining capacity in North America, addressing the broken value chain where 65%+ of crude lithium is currently shipped to China for refining.

The company sits in the manufacturing energy segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

It is recorded at the SOSV portfolio company stage.
