Fusion42 · 5 September 2026 · Fusion42 review

Geothermal Engineering Ltd (GEL) has produced technical-grade lithium carbonate from UK geothermal brine, marking a European first at commercial scale and supporting the UK Government's domestic critical mineral supply goals. GEL aims to expand production to around 30,000 tonnes annually by 2033, contributing significantly to UK lithium targets and offering a more environmentally sustainable supply method.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now source technical-grade lithium carbonate directly from UK geothermal brines with minimal refining. This opens a route into Europe's lithium supply chain for battery and clean energy startups focusing on local, sustainable materials.
