Vulcan Energy Resources Ltd. ( (AU:VUL) ) just unveiled an update.
Vulcan Energy has begun major construction at its Lionheart central lithium chemicals plant in Frankfurt’s Infraserv Industrial Park Höchst, a key European chemical and energy hub. A high-profile groundbreaking ceremony, attended by senior political and industry figures, highlighted strong governmental backing for domestic lithium production and its role in Europe’s battery value chain.
The Lionheart plant will convert lithium chloride into lithium hydroxide monohydrate via electrolysis, targeting annual output of 24,000 tonnes, enough for about 500,000 electric vehicle batteries, with substantial co-production of renewable power and heat for local consumers over an estimated 30-year life. Following a €2.2 billion funding package and a positive final investment decision in late 2025, the project marks a major step toward Vulcan’s planned 2028 commercial start and positions Lionheart as a flagship phase in building Europe’s resilience in energy and critical raw materials.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:VUL) stock is a Buy with a A$10.75 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vulcan Energy Resources Ltd. stock, see the AU:VUL Stock Forecast page.
