Arverne geothermal lithium,
sovereignty issue with controlled impact
Geothermal waters contain many minerals. In this first phase, Arverne has chosen to produce lithium, which is in high demand for batteries and is essential for electric mobility..
Produced locally in Alsace, from extraction to refining, it is obtained using the innovative Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) process, recognized for its performance and low environmental impact.
The lithium extracted in this way powers the batteries of small and medium-sized electric cars, in line with Arverne's commitment to responsible practices.
1/3 of demand in 2035
Arverne geothermal lithium aims to meet the needs of electric mobility, accounting for 1/3 of the estimated demand in 2035, or 27,000 tons.
