Century Lithium Announces Chlor-Alkali Plant to Support Western U.S. Supply Chains
Century Lithium plans to construct a commercial-scale chlor-alkali (CA) plant in the western United States, aiming to address supply gaps and support its Angel Island Lithium Project in Nevada. The facility will produce chlorine, hydrochloric acid, and sodium hydroxide—critical reagents for lithium processing, rare earth separation, and advanced materials production. CEO Bill Willoughby emphasized that this standalone plant could generate independent revenue while strengthening domestic industrial chemical supply chains. The proposed CA plant is designed to initially operate at 300 short tons per day of chlorine output, with potential scalability up to 600 tons depending on demand. Century has already secured eight non-binding memoranda of understanding for the full initial production capacity, indicating strong market interest and validation of the project’s viability. The company is evaluating suitable locations in Nevada or Utah based on infrastructure access, feedstock availability, and permitting considerations. With a target construction decision within under a year, Century Lithium aims to leverage existing sites rather than greenfield land for faster development.
