Vulcan’s aim is to produce climate-neutral lithium and provide renewable energy as part of its ZERO CARBON LITHIUM™ project. From Hessen. For Europe. Vulcan is determined to drive the transformation towards a climate-neutral future.

Let's go: Vulcan as a pioneer.

Vulcan wants to extract battery-grade lithium from the hot underground brine of the Upper Rhine Graben. The ZERO CARBON LITHIUM™ project relies on existing and commercially proven technologies. Vulcan will therefore establish a local source of lithium for the European battery industry and also produce renewable energy for the region.

To achieve a climate-neutral future, Vulcan is currently active in 4 project development areas around the Upper Rhine Graben. You can find out all about the latest developments and our progress in our news.

Future location Hessen

Future location Hessen

Here in the south of Hessen, we are in a particularly advantageous geological location. To put it more accurately: At a depth of around 2,000 to 4,500 meters, a huge energy potential lies dormant in the form of thermal water. Only a few regions in Germany offer such favorable conditions for the extraction of geothermal energy. We utilize this location advantage for you. That is why we are planning to supply the region with climate-neutral heat from renewable energy from 2026 using state-of-the-art geothermal power plants. Numerous households as well as industry and commerce in the region will then benefit from the great potential of a base load-capable supply of climate-neutral heat and, in future, electricity.
Our team consists of regional, national and international experts and we all have one goal: To strengthen the region and secure its pioneering role.

Geothermal heat- a sustainable source of energy

Geothermal heat- a sustainable source of energy

Geothermal heat, also known as geothermal energy, is a renewable energy source that is obtained from the natural heat inside the earth. In deep geothermal energy, heat from deeper layers of the earth’s crust is used for this purpose. This involves drilling wells to access deeper water reservoirs, the energy contained in which is then used to generate heat or electricity. Geothermal energy is seen as an important alternative to fossil fuels and can therefore play a significant role in energy supply in the future.

Why we are convinced of geothermal energy

Why we are convinced of geothermal energy

Climate-neutral: In contrast to fossil fuels, electricity and heat generation is CO2-neutral.
Sustainable: The recirculated deep water heats up again underground and can therefore be reused to generate energy.
Reliable: Compared to other renewable energy sources, energy from geothermal energy is available at all times, even regardless of the weather and time of day.
Regional: Geothermal energy is available to us locally and therefore makes us independent of imports.

Towards the future with ZERO CARBON LITHIUM™

Towards the future with ZERO CARBON LITHIUM™

At Vulcan, we have a vision for the future: ZERO CARBON LITHIUM™. In addition to generating climate-neutral energy, we also want to be the first company in the world to produce CO2-neutral lithium in order to make the idea of truly climate-neutral electromobility a reality. That is why we use the thermal water not only as a source of energy: We use a tried and tested process to extract valuable lithium from the cooled thermal water. The thermal water is then returned to its underground reservoir in a closed circuit.

„Wir wollen als erstes Unternehmen in Europa heimisches Lithium herstellen und als erstes Unternehmen weltweit klimaneutrales Lithiumhydroxidmonohydrat für Elektrofahrzeugbatterien produzieren.”
