10 Project Finance Lessons from Europe’s Geothermal-Lithium Lighthouse
The Lionheart project in Germany's Upper Rhine Valley secured a €2.2 billion financing package in December 2025 to integrate geothermal power, heat, and lithium extraction. To attract investors amid market volatility, the project employed ten specific financial and operational de-risking measures, including a conservative 60:40 debt-to-equity ratio, government equity from KfW, and a diversified revenue model selling lithium, power, and heat. The project aims to produce lithium hydroxide monohydrate for 500,000 EV batteries and heat for 90,000 homes annually by 2028.
