Dec 2025Undisclosed stageSiemens (lead); Hochtief; Demeter$156M$1BVulcan Energy Resources secured a €2.2 billion ($2.57bn) financing package for Phase One of its Lionheart project in Germany's Upper Rhine Valley, fully funding construction and development of this integrated lithium and renewable energy initiative. The project aims to produce 24,000 tonnes of battery-quality lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM) annually, sufficient for 500,000 electric vehicles, alongside 275 GWh of renewable power and 560 GWh of heat per year, with commercial production targeted for 2028 after a 2.5-year construction period. A consortium of strategic investors—HOCHTIEF, Siemens Financial Services, and Demeter—invested €133m to acquire a 15% equity interest in the Phase One Lionheart project entity. HOCHTIEF additionally provided €169m total backing, including €39m directly into the project entity and up to €130m in Vulcan shares. The KfW Raw Materials Fund invested €150m for a 14% stake in Vulcan’s German subsidiary, with further equity from an underwritten raising of €528m at €2.24 per share, and debt including €250m from the EIB and €1.2bn from banks and ECAs. Following this financing, Vulcan's board approved the Final Investment Decision (FID), transitioning to execution. Lionheart, classified under the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act, uses direct lithium extraction from geothermal brines with recycled water and green energy, enhancing Europe's raw material independence from China and supporting the battery and EV value chain with offtake contracts to European customers.
