Description
Description | The Frankfurt Central Lithium Plant is part of Vulcan Energy's Lionheart Project, aiming to produce battery-quality lithium hydroxide monohydrate using NESI's NORSCAND® electrolysis technology. The plant targets an annual production capacity of 24,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide monohydrate, sufficient for approximately 500,000 electric vehicle batteries. The project integrates lithium extraction from geothermal brines with electrochemical conversion to support Europe's domestic lithium supply for electric vehicles and battery manufacturing. |
