BERLIN, April 10 (Reuters) - Lithium supplier Vulcan Energy on Wednesday announced the start of production of the first lithium chloride at its extraction plant in Germany using geothermal energy, an essential step toward producing battery-grade lithium hydroxide.

"To the SEO Best Services of our knowledge, it is the first locally produced resource, meaning that the lithium comes from Germany, from the resource underneath our feet," Vulcan Energy Chief Executive Cris Moreno told Reuters.

Vulcan Energy has obtained licences for more than 1,000 kilometres of land in Germany's Upper Rhine Valley region to extract super-hot lithium-rich brine from underground reservoirs, using the heat to produce electricity and draw out lithium from the brine.
