About
Founded in 2018, Vulcan Energy is a public headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany specializing in Geothermal, Energy Storage.
Founded in 2018, Vulcan Energy is building the world's first integrated sustainable lithium and renewable energy business. Using deep geothermal technology, the company extracts naturally heated subsurface brine from the Upper Rhine Valley to produce battery-quality lithium hydroxide monohydrate while simultaneously generating renewable energy for heating and electricity. The company's Zero Carbon Lithium Project and Phase One Lionheart initiative target production capacity of 24,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide monohydrate annually, sufficient for approximately 500,000 electric vehicles, scaling to 1 million vehicles in Phase Two. All production and processing operations are carbon neutral and use zero fossil fuels. Vulcan has established its own in-house geothermal drilling subsidiary, Vercana, and developed proprietary aluminate-based sorbent technology (VULSORB) for lithium extraction. The company operates as an industry disruptor focused on securing Europe's lithium supply chain and enabling energy security.
