The Ageli (Alsace Géothermie Lithium) low-carbon geothermal lithium production project in Alsace, developed by Eramet and Électricité de Strasbourg (ÉS), was recognized as a “strategic project” by the European Commission on Tuesday, March 25th.

The "AGeLi" (Alsace Géothermie Lithium) project brings together Eramet and Electricité de Strasbourg with the aim of developing the lithium resources contained in the geothermal water naturally present in the Alsace subsoil. Ageli would enable the development of one of the world's most responsible lithium production projects, contribute to the sovereignty and reindustrialization of [...]

Eramet, a French mining and metallurgical group, and Électricité de Strasbourg (ÉS), an Alsatian energy company and producer of local renewable energy, have been involved in a partnership since January 2023 within the “Alsace Géothermie Lithium” (Ageli) project for the sustainable recovery of Alsatian geothermal lithium. The new pilot is now installed at the [...]

A truck full of ore winding along a steep mine track. Notes from a piece of music composed 300 years ago, yet immediately catching our attention. This is how the Eramet Group's film begins, a journey across continents and metals, meeting men and women united by the same ambition: to become a [...]

Proving the ability to extract fully carbon-free lithium from geothermal brines: this was the ambition of the European project, which ends after three years of laboratory and field research.   The EuGeLi (European Geothermal Lithium Brine) project ends with a success: the first kilograms of battery-grade lithium carbonate from European geothermal water have just been [...]

 This is a world first in the field of lithium: the Eramet group, in partnership with Électricité de Strasbourg (ÉS), has succeeded in extracting lithium from geothermal brine during pilot-scale tests conducted early 2021 at the Rittershoffen geothermal power plant (northern Alsace), which has been operated by ÉS for the past five years.Eramet's teams used [...]
