Vulcan Energy has officially broken ground on the Trappelberg drilling site in Rohrbach, Germany, as part of its Lionheart project. This site is the second after Schleidberg and will contribute to the climate-neutral heating supply for Landau and neighboring areas.

Preparatory work, including the installation of a deep groundwater monitoring well, has been completed to ensure aquifer protection during drilling. The start of drilling at Trappelberg is scheduled for the second half of 2026, with Vulcan planning to develop five new drilling sites in total. Positive outcomes from the Schleidberg site have confirmed the high lithium content and reservoir capacity, supporting the project's viability.
