Eramet announces that it has signed an exclusive memorandum of understanding with Électricité de Strasbourg to jointly study the development of lithium production in Alsace from geothermal brine.

The mining and metallurgy group will contribute its direct lithium extraction process, developed for its Centenario project in Argentina, as well as its expertise in lithium extraction, refining, production and marketing.

The planned production would be around 10,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate per year, and could begin by the end of the decade. This 100% French production corresponds to the needs of around 250,000 electric vehicle batteries per year.
