UK Company Extracts Lithium From Geothermal Fluids
Cornwall-based company GEL has successfully drilled three miles into granite to access fluids heated to nearly 200 degrees. This geothermal resource is being used to generate electricity 24/7, marking a first for the United Kingdom. The technology utilizes fluids pumped from deep underground to drive turbines.
