Company Overview

Vulcan Energy Resources is a pioneering sustainable lithium and renewable energy company established in 2018. The firm is dedicated to producing carbon-neutral lithium for electric vehicle batteries while generating renewable energy through geothermal power. Its Phase One Lionheart Project in the Upper Rhine Valley aims to secure Europe’s lithium supply chain through innovative, environmentally responsible extraction from naturally heated subsurface brine.

Battery Technology

Vulcan’s Zero Carbon Lithium Project uses a carbon-neutral direct lithium extraction (DLE) process powered by geothermal energy. Their proprietary VULSORB® sorbent maximizes lithium recovery from hot subsurface brines, yielding battery-grade lithium hydroxide while generating renewable electricity and heat. Phase One targets production for 500,000 EVs annually, expanding to 1 million in Phase Two, without evaporation ponds, hard rock mining, or fossil fuels.
