Vulcan Energie Ressourcen GmbH (Vulcan) and MVV Grüne Wärme GmbH have signed a 20-year heat supply agreement. Under the agreement, which is due to come into effect in 2025, Vulcan will supply renewable heat with a total volume of between 240 and 350 gigawatt hours per year to MVV. The heat will be supplied from Vulcan's planned geothermal wells in the area surrounding the City of Mannheim.

Heat will be transferred via heating grids and a series of underground pipes that deliver hot water or steam to buildings in the local community. This is the first of a number of planned district heating agreements for Vulcan, the Company is developing its Mannheim licence as part of a planned larger Phase 2 of the Zero Carbon Lithium(TM) Project. The conclusion of this contract proves that the supply of green heat is a sustainable and attractive business model that meets with great interest from municipal utilities.
