The Lionheart project by Vulcan Energy Resources is a lithium and geothermal energy project targeting commercial production in 2028. It aims to produce 24,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide monohydrate annually, sufficient for about 500,000 electric vehicle batteries. The project will also generate 275 gigawatt-hours of renewable power and 560 gigawatt-hours of heat per year by extracting lithium chl
