Lithium recovery from geothermal brines: What are the requirements of the lithium-ion battery market?
Along with the decarbonization of the automotive industry, the demand of lithium has increased significantly over time, due to is application in lithium-ion batteries. Currently, the extraction of lithium from geothermal brines is researched in many places within Europe, dealing with different direct lithium extraction methods. However, not only the technical challenges from a geothermal perspective must be solved, but also the requirements for the product from the battery market must be considered. In this regard, the session aims to bring together all relevant parties and their interests.
The workshop will take place as a side event of The smarter E Europe (TSEE) 2023 in Munich. Participation in the event is free of charge. In order to attend, you must also register as a visitor for The smarter E Europe 2023.
