ZERO CARBON LITHIUM

signed

The project intends to produce 24 kt/yr of battery-quality lithium hydroxide, by combining extraction from the underground brine with associated geothermal plants under a closed fluid cycle, a lithium extraction plant and a refining plant. It will also produce electricity to cover most of its own consumption and heat for district heating in nearby towns, thereby targeting net-zero emissions. The project will be mostly located in the Upper Rhine Valley of Germany, which is Europe's largest lithium resource. Its scope corresponds to the first phase of a larger development scheme and it will benefit from the experience of an existing demo-plant.
