Cornish Lithium – Powering the future

Overview

Cornwall has a long and internationally recognised history of mining and engineering. Today, this heritage is being combined with new technology as Cornwall explores its potential role in supplying lithium for the UK’s transition to a low carbon economy.

Cornish Lithium is progressing lithium projects within Cornwall, including the Trelavour lithium project and the Cross Lanes geothermal lithium project. The company has also received planning permission for a commercial geothermal lithium production facility at Cross Lanes near Chacewater.

ICE Truro City Club is hosting a talk by Cornish Lithium on the development of lithium resources in Cornwall and the engineering, technology and infrastructure challenges and opportunities involved.

The talk will cover:

• Cornwall’s lithium resources and why they are significant
• The engineering and technology involved in extracting lithium
• Geothermal lithium and the Cross Lanes project
• Development of the Trelavour lithium project
• The journey from exploration and testing towards commercial production
• Infrastructure and engineering considerations
• The potential contribution of Cornwall to the UK’s clean-energy transition
