Minviro Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Vulcan uses prospective life cycle assessments (LCA) as part of our geothermal lithium process development in oder to reduce environmental impacts of our process for making lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH•H2O) before capital expenditures are incurred. This allows us to quantify our environmental impacts, understand drivers of our impacts, and make decisions about our supply chains an energy use to minimise those impacts.
