Stardust Power Joins Lithium Innovation Cluster for Muskogee Project
Stardust Power Inc. announced it has joined a special cluster of industry firms to help advance its lithium-grade refining operations being built at Muskogee in eastern Oklahoma.
Company to Take Advantage of Technical Collaboration
The Connecticut-based firm said it joined the Lithium Regional Innovation Cluster, a collaborative industry initiative focused on advancing innovation, supply chain resilience, and economic development across the U.S. lithium value chain.
“Joining LRIC connects Stardust Power to a broader network of industry leaders working to build a resilient U.S. lithium supply chain,” said Roshan Pujari, Founder and CEO of Stardust Power.
“As we prepare our Muskogee, Oklahoma refinery toward construction, this collaboration allows us to both contribute our operational perspective and learn from others across the ecosystem. It’s about raising the bar for domestic lithium development and execution.”
Collaboration Across Industry and Institutions
LRIC brings together industry participants, technology providers, academic institutions, and public-sector stakeholders to accelerate the development of a scalable and sustainable U.S. lithium ecosystem.
Through this collaboration, Stardust Power will contribute its midstream refining expertise while engaging with peers across the value chain to support innovation and industry best practices.
“The Lithium Regional Innovation Cluster is proud to welcome Stardust Power as we continue building a more secure and scalable domestic lithium supply chain,” said Florence Meadors, Program Manager of the Lithium Regional Innovation Cluster.
“Their focus on midstream refining is a critical component of the U.S. lithium ecosystem, and we look forward to supporting their continued growth.”
Focus on Domestic Lithium Refining Capacity
Participation in LRIC supports Stardust Power’s strategy to advance domestic lithium refining capacity and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
The collaboration is formalized through a memorandum of understanding.
Through LRIC, the Company will participate in initiatives focused on advancing lithium processing technologies and strengthening U.S. supply chain coordination.
