Michael Mislan
PhD Candidate
Chief Technology Officer
Founding Memeber
Michael is a PhD candidate in Chemical Engineering interested in the design of novel interdisciplinary techniques which integrate the extraction and transformation of resources into value-added products. He has experience in process design/operation, reservoir geochemistry and water treatment supporting a polymer production plant at Nova Chemicals and a SAGD Pilot Plant with Laricina Energy Ltd. He holds 5 patents with more in development
There is a gap between current lithium supply potential and future lithium demand needed for electric vehicles and mobile energy storage. LiEP Energy was founded in 2017 by a team with knowledge from energy the sector to tackle this problem.
We have over 60 years of experience using new technology to unlock conventional and unconventional resources and now we plan to do the same for lithium.
Edward T. (Ned) Beattie
