BrineRIS Project at “Sustainable Lithium for Europe 2025"

On May 15, 2025, the European Lithium Institute (eLi) hosted the “Sustainable Lithium for Europe 2025” seminar in Brussels, gathering over 70 experts from industry, academia, and public institutions. A key highlight was the BrineRIS project presentation, showcasing the potential of geothermal brines as a lithium source in Southern and Eastern Europe. Dr. Magdalena Worsa-Kozak introduced major findings and an interactive lithium concentration platform. The event also covered EU supply chain strategy, lithium recycling innovations, and upcoming eLi initiatives for 2025–2026.
 

The Geothermal Lithium Networking Event gathered over 50 participants from around the world for a series of informative keynote sessions and discussions on sustainable lithium extraction from geothermal brines. Attendees had the chance to network, share experiences, and explore key topics, including the legal aspects of lithium recovery. We thank all speakers and participants for their valuable contributions, which inspire us to keep advancing in this exciting field.
