Another step as we move towards securing a domestic, European supply chain for lithium and providing affordable, baseload renewable energy for local communities.
World-leading Environmental metrics.
Conventional methods for lithium extraction have a significant impact on the environment. Depending on the process, the CO₂ footprint and water consumption can be immense. The extensive land use also affects the environment and raises social concerns in the mining countries.
Unlike conventional lithium mining, Vulcan’s integrated lithium and renewable energy project aims to not burn fossil fuels in the lithium production and processing exercise and is environmentally and socially responsible due to very low water consumption and land use.
Vulcan empowers a Sustainable tomorrow.
We are driven by The Vulcan Compass.
Vulcan is committed to Sustainable materiality.
We are all in agreement that Sustainability is our purpose.
We believe that our purpose, to empower a carbon neutral future, clearly and succinctly represents Vulcan’s identity. It showcases why we exist, what problems we are working to solve and what we aspire to do. Our mission is to become Europe’s leading sustainable lithium business and to enable energy security through geothermal energy and heat production.
“The Vulcan team’s enthusiasm for making a global impact through decarbonisation across borders makes my role incredibly fulfilling”.

Third party "green" validated Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA).
The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is a prerequisite to the raising of sustainable or “green” debt finance and is an important third-party validation of the Project’s sustainability credentials. Vulcan’s ESIA for the Phase One Lionheart Project has been successfully completed.
Overview of reports and assessments Downloads.
Vulcan uses prospective life cycle assessments (LCA) as part of our geothermal lithium process development in order 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.
