Vulcan Energy has entered into an agreement to supply geothermal heat ♨️ for industrial use of chemical producer BASF in Germany, with possible lithium extraction 🔋. This announcement follows up on two similarly big announcements that Vulcan has made within the last two weeks – the start of lithium hydroxide production at the company’s CLEOP site in Frankfurt, and the awarding of EUR 100 million federal funding from the Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection of Germany 🙌.

If you want to learn about the very interesting topic of "Lithium Extraction from Geothermal Brines", and moreover, about its tremendous potential for accelerating #energytransition, this discussion is a great resource #geothermal #lithium #energystorage #geothermalenergy #sustainablearth Noah Morris, Ph.D. California Council on Science and Technology (CCST) https://lnkd.in/dmvedKC3

WHITE HYDROGEN/HELIUM WHY TO DRILL WITHOUT BEING SURE YOU'RE DRILLING ON A RESERVOIR? BEFORE OR AFTER OBTAINING A PERMIT OR CONCESSION, YOU CAN FIND OUT IF HYDROGEN AND HELIUM RESERVOIRS EXIST, AND IF THEY CONTAIN METHANE OR NOT. There is white hydrogen/helium in France, but white hydrogen/helium not associated with methane (natural gas) is not found in the same areas. And that's geologically understandable. El*Fi makes it possible to define Permits or Concessions before acquiring them, avoiding sterile zones and more in-depth studies in the future (drilling etc. ). Past studies for hydrocarbons, almost all of them, have not been done for natural hydrogen or helium. The "gravitism" employed by El*Fi is the only current means of crossing a region and being able to mark on a map where the anomalies and reservoirs are and whether they are associated with methane (natural gas). The studies carried out by El*Fi, while crossing certain departments, demonstrate that the association of natural hydrogen and helium, with or without methane, are more common than most people think. 

Natural gas Natural gas is primarily composed of methane (CH4), which typically makes up around 70-90% of its composition. However, natural gas can also contain smaller amounts of other hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbon gases, including: 1. Ethane (C2H6) 2. Propane (C3H8) 3. Butane (C4H10) 4. Pentanes and higher hydrocarbons (C5+) 5. Carbon dioxide (CO2) 6. Nitrogen (N2) 7. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) 8. Helium (He) The exact composition of natural gas can vary depending on the source and location of extraction. 1. Ethane (C2H6) 2. Propane (C3H8) 3. Butane (C4H10) 4.

Entrained Flow Gasifiers have been designed to gasify high ash coals which are present in abundance. The gasifiers can gasify a wide range of coal qualities ranging from High Grade Bituminous to High Ash Lignite. It is based on one of the most effective and efficient technology among other Gasification Technologies which fail at LOW ASH FUSION TEMPERATURES. #coaltogas #coaltofuel #bituminous #lignite #gasifier #gasification #technology #BHEL #SAIL #CASEcoalgasifier #steelindustry #coalindia #aatmanirbharbharat 

Asphaltene adsorption on mineral surfaces is an undesirable phenomenon that is responsible for several problems pestering the petroleum industries, including but not limited to reduced oil extraction efficiency, pipeline clogging, catalyst deactivation, etc. In our recent work, we showed that the common belief that 'all asphaltenes preferentially adsorb over rock surfaces' is not always true. We showed that the adsorption is governed by the contributions from core, chains and heteroatoms within in asphaltene structure, also the competition provided by surrounding oil phase molecules.

I would also like to express my appreciation to Mr. Shubham Chobe, my colleague, for his unwavering support. #iitbombay #research #pmrf #oilandgasindustry #eor #acs #energy&fuels

Lithium extraction from geothermal brine is another of those topics that perk up the ears of people from outside the geothermal community. This story on the work being done by Weardale Lithium to explore and develop a geothermal lithium extraction project in the UK made it to the top 10 stories for the 1st half of the year - the second lithium-related story on the list.

The Smackover formation may not only be a good source of lithium, but some of the oil industry wells might be convertible to sources of geothermal heat or power. #lithium #oilgas #geothermal
