Vulcan’s purpose is to empower a carbon neutral future to supply lithium chemicals and renewable energy from Europe, for Europe.
Coming up on November 8, 2024 Grand Opening: Central Lithium Hydroxide Optimisation Plant.
On 8 November, Germany will take a significant step towards the goal of a sustainable and domestic lithium supply chain. Vulcan will be opening its Central Lithium Hydroxide Optimisation Plant (CLEOP) in Industrial Park Höchst, Frankfurt. Once in operation, CLEOP will convert Lithium Chloride (LiCl) from its upstream Lithium Extraction Optimisation Plant (LEOP) into battery grade LHM. This will represent the first fully domestically produced LHM, from raw materials to final product, in Europe.
Securing Europe's lithium supply chain Phase One Lionheart Project.
Our 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.
Take a stand Be first with Vulcan.
As a motivated industry disruptor, 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 carbon neutral lithium.
Strategically placed Focus 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. Vulcan therefore aims to be producing enough lithium hydroxide for 500,000 electric vehicles from our Phase One Lionheart Project, and 1 million electric vehicles per annum when Phase Two is operational.
Building a sustainable value chain Vulcan’s integrated lithium and renewable energy project
Vulcan’s unique proprietary process draws on naturally occurring renewable energy to power its lithium production process, whilst generating excess renewable energy for local heating needs. Vulcan’s production and processing operations are carbon neutral and use zero fossil fuels in the production process.

Geothermal energy is at the heart of Vulcan 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.
Operating in the Upper Rhine Valley Regional development locations.
The Upper Rhine Valley region is in a particularly advantageous geological location: at a depth of around 3,600 meters, there is a very large geothermal brine resource, which also contains high concentration of lithium. Only a few regions in the world offer such favorable conditions for the co-production of lithium and renewable heat.
