Natürlich Insheim is located within Vulcan’s Phase One project area and plays a significant role in the company’s decarbonisation strategy. Since 2021, successful lithium production piloting has been carried out on site, taking advantage of the naturally favourable conditions within the area, including both a particularly high occurrence of hot geothermal brine and the significant amounts of lithium in the brine.

Using the earth's inexhaustible heat with Deep geothermal technology.

There is great energy potential lying dormant inside the Earth. This enables us to provide affordable base-load renewable energy for local communities. Hot brine is brought to the surface from underground reservoirs and used to generate renewable energy. The geothermal power plant “Natürlich Insheim” has been reliably supplying thousands of households with green electricity since 2012.
