Vulcan’s purpose is to empower a carbon neutral future by building the world’s first integrated sustainable lithium and renewable energy business.
Phase One Lionheart Project
Vulcan’s integrated lithium and renewable energy project adapts existing, commercially proven technology to produce battery-quality lithium from naturally heated subsurface brine in the Upper Rhine Valley, to deliver a local source of sustainable lithium for the European battery industry, with a co-product of renewable energy for local heating needs. Our production and processing operations are carbon neutral and use zero fossil fuels in the production process.
Be first with Vulcan
Vulcan is leveraging its expert multidisciplinary team, leading technology, and strategic position in the European electric vehicle supply chain in its aim to be the global leader in producing sustainable lithium.
Focus on Europe
Europe is one of the fastest-growing electric vehicle manufacturing markets in the world. Demand for lithium in Europe is expected to increase 57-fold by 2050, and the European Union is targeting at least 40% of material processing and refinement to be carried out within its borders.
Currently, there is zero local supply of battery-quality lithium hydroxide within Europe. Phase One Lionheart Project will have the capacity to produce 24,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide monohydrate, enough for around 500,000 electric vehicles per annum.
Renewable energy producer
As a renewable energy producer, Vulcan extracts natural geothermal heat from a deep brine source and ensures a clean, reliable, and renewable energy source for its operations and partners, as well as baseload renewable power and heating for local communities.
