Cornish Lithium secures £18M funding package from TechMet

Green Car Congress

This means there is significant potential for lithium-enriched geothermal waters across the region. These waters can be accessed via boreholes drilled from the surface in to permeable geological faults at depth. Cornish Lithium aims to produce battery-quality zero-carbon lithium chemicals directly from the geothermal waters.
