Cornish Lithium is a UK-based mineral exploration and development company focused on lithium extraction from geothermal waters and hard rock in the district of Cornwall. IDTechEx spoke with the company at Direct Lithium Extraction Summit 2024. This profile will focus on its geothermal brine projects for lithium extraction.

Lithium is the lightest and smallest alkali metal in the periodic table and possesses a high electrochemical potential. These attributes make it attractive for use in batteries, as it can provide a high energy density per unit weight, with few viable substitutes. While lithium finds diverse applications in glass ceramics, lubricating greases, air treatment, and pharmaceuticals, batteries dominate its end-use segment.

Intelligent Energy (IE) is a UK-based proton exchange membrane fuel cell manufacturer, with a history dating back to 1988. The company targets both stationary and mobility applications for its fuel cells. IDTechEx spoke with Greg Harris, its Chief Commercial Officer, to find out more about its stationary fuel cell business.

On a global level, the decarbonization of heat energy methods is needed more and more as heating and cooling accounts for around 50% of energy consumption, with 30% being from industrial heating. 90% of these industrial heating processes include the use of fossil fuels, which leads to high global emissions from industrial processes alone. To meet net zero targets, things need to change.
