The global market for Lithium Carbonate equivalent is going to expand by over 14 times in the coming decade. What if there was a way to produce a domestic source, while also being a clean sustainable source of lithium? Wouldn't we want to go after that resource as quickly and urgently as possible? Well Vulcan Energy Resources is doing just that in the Upper Rhine Valley with their Net Zero Carbon Lithium project. I sat down with Francis Wedin to chat about their project aiming to provide a net zero source of Lithium from Geothermal Brines in the Upper Rhine Valley.
Francis Wedin, Managing Director of Vulcan Energy Resources sat down with me to talk about their plans to develop net zero lithium from Geothermal brines. Such an exciting space for the geothermal industry and one that has massive implications as we move into this next generation where the demand for Lithium Carbonate equivalent will rise by over 14 times. Another way in which Geothermal can help be a solution for the net zero future.
