Webinar – Geothermal lithium & sustainable batter production in the EU, Nov,. 24, 2020

Lithium-ion batteries are vital to accelerating the decarbonisation of transport and better integrating variable renewable energies into electricity grids. The EU’s import dependency on raw materials such as lithium combined with concerns over the life-cycle impact of lithium extraction and processing could dampen investment along the full battery value-chain.

To provide more details on the opportunities provided by geothermal lithium, the European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC) is inviting to a webinar  “Geothermal lithium and sustainable battery production in the EU”.

Geothermal lithium provides the EU with vast and sustainable quantities of this essential raw material. The expert panel will discuss this the European Commission’s Sustainable Batteries proposal.

Moreover, in May, EGEC released a policy paper outlining an industrial strategy for a sustainable geothermal lithium battery value chain in Europe.
