Webinar – Lithium from geothermal in Germany, May 21, 2021

Webinar announcement

This week’s webinar by IGC.events will present a presentation by Elif Kaymakci of EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG titled: “Lithium for batteries from geothermal waters in Germany – The joint UnLimited project.”

• Day: Friday May 21, 2021
• Time: 14:00 CEST

The co-production of lithium from deep geothermal plants is currently being discussed worldwide and has already been implemented locally in a pilot manner. Demand for lithium is growing rapidly, especially in the field of electro-mobility. In Germany, high lithium concentrations of up to 200 mg/l are measured in hot thermal brines in the Upper Rhine Graben (ORG) and North German Basin (NGB). The potential is therefore promising, and this extraction technology can be a steppingstone in the establishment of a domestic value chain for lithium.

In the UnLimited joint project, the project partners are working together on the development and testing of a process that will enable lithium production from the extracted deep waters to accompany their geothermal energy use. The partners are utility EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG, Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT), BESTEC, HYDROSION und the University of Göttingen.
