Advancing Clean Energy Through Mineral Development
BHE Renewables is advancing lithium production research in California’s Imperial Valley. Lithium - the critical mineral used in lithium-ion batteries to power cellphones, laptop computers and electric vehicles - can be found in the brine processed at BHE Renewables’ geothermal facilities. A demonstration project to recover lithium from the geothermal brine was placed in-service in 2022, with a demonstration project to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate planned to be on-line in 2023. Upon successful completion of the projects, construction of the first commercial plant could begin as soon as 2024, leading to an environmentally responsible domestic source of lithium. The energy used for lithium production would be 100% renewable.
