Vulcan Energie Ressourcen GmbH

Vulcan Energy is aiming to decarbonise the transition to electric mobility, through its world-first Zero Carbon Lithium™ Project for electric vehicle batteries, and its renewable energy business.

Backed by a team of world-renowned experts in chemistry, engineering and geology, we aim to produce the world’s first, premium, battery-quality lithium chemicals with zero carbon footprint, by harnessing renewable geothermal energy to drive lithium production, without using evaporation ponds, mining or fossil fuels.

We will do this from our combined deep geothermal and lithium brine resource, which is Europe’s largest lithium resource, in the Upper Rhine Valley of Germany. Our resource is large enough to satisfy Europe’s lithium needs for many years to come, and ensure the transition to electric vehicles is done with minimal environmental footprint.

Europe is the world’s fastest growing lithium chemicals market, with zero local supply. In doing so, we will fix the EU’s lithium problems for the electric vehicle market: a very high carbon and water footprint of production, and total reliance on foreign imports.
