Construction is now underway on Vulcan Energy’s flagship integrated geothermal and lithium production facility in Germany’s Upper Rhine Valley. The move follows the company’s final investment decision in December 2025, marking a pivotal shift from planning to physical execution for the ambitious venture.
The initiative, known as the Lionheart project, is backed by secured financing totaling €2.2 billion. With all major construction permits in hand, physical work has commenced across multiple sites. This includes the integrated facility in Landau and the central processing plant located in Frankfurt-Höchst. The company reported a successful production test at its first new well in January, providing an early operational boost.
