联合王国在康沃尔的首座深地热发电厂产生3兆瓦的清洁电源,并生产用于EV的锂,标志着清洁能源突破。 UK’s first deep geothermal plant in Cornwall generates 3 MW of clean power and produces lithium for EVs, marking a clean energy breakthrough.

联合王国第一座深地热发电厂位于康沃尔,由地热工程有限公司经营,通过挖掘超过190°C的地下热量,已开始发电3兆瓦的可再生电力,供大约10,000户人家使用。 The UK’s first deep geothermal power plant, located in Cornwall and operated by Geothermal Engineering Ltd, has begun generating 3 megawatts of renewable electricity—enough for about 10,000 homes—by tapping into underground heat exceeding 190°C. 由5 000万英镑资助的该站点还从热热地热液中提取锂,每年生产100吨碳酸锂,足以供2 500台电动汽车电池使用。 The site, funded with £50 million, also extracts lithium from hot geothermal fluids, producing 100 tonnes of lithium carbonate annually, sufficient for 2,500 electric vehicle batteries. 该项目使用钻井深度超过5公里的钻井,在最低地表影响下运作,并计划扩大供应足够的锂,供每年25万台EV。 The project, which uses a well drilled over 5 kilometers deep, operates with minimal surface impact and plans to expand to supply enough lithium for 250,000 EVs per year. 该公司受益于政府支持的差别合同和与Octopus Energy签订的长期电力采购协议。 It benefits from a government-backed contract for difference and a long-term power purchase agreement with Octopus Energy. 官员称赞这一发展是清洁能源和国内关键矿物生产方面的突破,有可能促进区域经济增长和能源安全。 Officials hailed the development as a breakthrough in clean energy and domestic critical mineral production, with potential to boost regional economic growth and energy security.
