German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) visited the geothermalpower and lithium extraction facility of Vulcan Energy Resources (Vulcan) in Landau, expressing strong support for the geothermal industry in Germany ahead of the federal elections. This facility was officially opened in November 2023.
Geologists have estimated that an area in the Upper Rhine Valley, in the Black Forest area of southwestern Germany, holds enough lithium for more than 400 million electric cars, making it one of the world’s biggest deposits. The trove could reduce the reliance of the German car industry on imported lithium.
Cornwall is set to become home to Europe's first geothermallithium recovery pilot plant, with government funding announced this week set to support a project that combines lithium extraction from geothermal waters deep below the surface of the county with geothermal energy generation.
LevertonHELM and EnBW have reported the successful production of lithium carbonate with a >99.95% purity from the extraction of lithium chloride from geothermal waters at the Bruchsal geothermalpower plant in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The City Council of Landau in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany has approved an agreement with Vulcan Energy (Vulcan) to begin construction of an integrated geothermal energy generation and lithium extraction plant (G-LEP) at the site of the planned “Am Messegelände Südost” business park.
Geothermal Engineering Limited (GEL) has announced plans of producing around 10o tonnes of Lithium Carbon Equivalent (LCE) per year from the company’s geothermal projects in Cornwall, UK. High lithium concentrations at the United Downs site had been reported as early as 2021.
Cornwall is also blessed with geothermal energy and is the site of two major geothermal projects – the Eden Geothermal project and the United Downs Deep GeothermalPower (UDDGP) project.
Vulcan Energy Resources Limited (Vulcan) has announced the conditional 100% acquisition of Geox GmbH (Geox), owner and operator of geothermal wells and related assets around the City of Landau in Germany. The acquisition of Geox finalises the streamlining of Vulcan’s upstream Phase One ownership.
Registration is now open for “GeothermalPower: The Light Under Your Feet.” ” This is a high-level event being organized by the European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC) that will feature insightful discussions on the future of geothermal electricity, thermal storage, and lithium.
Vulcan Energy is set to open their Lithium Extraction Optimization Plant (LEOP) in Landau in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The facility aims to up the scale of lithium extraction from geothermal water from their current laboratory-scale operations. The LEOP is located right at the Landau geothermalpower plant.
The award recognises Vulcan Energy’s innovative project, the Lithium Extraction Optimization Plant (LEOP) from geothermal, designed to revolutionise the production of sustainable lithium in Europe. The LEOP, inaugurated in November 2023, is located at the site of the Landau geothermalpower plant in Germany.
