Rock Tech Lithium (OTCQX:RCKTF)는 리튬 수산화물 전환 공장인 구벤(Guben)에 재생 가능 에너지를 공급하기 위해 ENERTRAG SE와 전략적 파트너십을 체결했습니다. 계약에 따라 ENERTRAG는 2030년부터 연간 최소 70GWh의 재생 가능 전력을 제공하여 폴란드 구빈(Gubin)에 새로 건설되는 풍력 및 태양광 발전소를 통해 공장 전력 수요의 50% 이상을 충당합니다.
이 파트너십은 Scope 2 CO2 배출량을 약 50% 감축하는 것을 목표로 하며, 지속 가능하고 경쟁력 있는 전력 공급을 보장합니다. 이 에너지 및 지속가능성 모델은 온타리오주 레드 록(Red Rock)에 있는 Rock Tech의 전환 공장에도 청사진으로 활용될 예정입니다. 이 프로젝트는 유럽위원회의 중요원자재법(Critical Raw Materials Act) 하에 인정되었으며 산업 탈탄소화를 위한 국경을 넘는 협력을 보여줍니다.
Rock Tech Lithium (OTCQX:RCKTF) a conclu un partenariat stratégique avec ENERTRAG SE pour fournir de l’énergie renouvelable à son convertisseur d’hydroxyde de lithium à Guben. Selon l’accord, ENERTRAG fournira au moins 70 GWh d’électricité renouvelable par an à partir de 2030, couvrant plus de 50 % des besoins énergétiques du convertisseur grâce à de nouveaux parcs éoliens et photovoltaïques à Gubin, en Pologne.
Le partenariat vise à réduire les émissions de CO2 du Scope 2 d’environ 50 % tout en assurant une fourniture d’électricité durable et compétitive. Ce concept énergétique et de durabilité servira de modèle pour le convertisseur de Rock Tech à Red Rock, Ontario. Le projet est reconnu dans le cadre du Critical Raw Materials Act de la Commission européenne et illustre une coopération transfrontalière pour la décarbonation de l’industrie.
Rock Tech Lithium (OTCQX:RCKTF) ist eine strategische Partnerschaft mit ENERTRAG SE eingegangen, um erneuerbare Energie an seinen Lithiumhydroxid-Konverter in Guben zu liefern. Laut Vereinbarung wird ENERTRAG ab 2030 mindestens 70 GWh erneuerbare Elektrizität pro Jahr liefern und damit über 50 % des Strombedarfs des Konverters durch neue Wind- und Photovoltaikanlagen in Gubin, Polen, abdecken.
Die Partnerschaft zielt darauf ab, die Scope-2-CO2-Emissionen um etwa 50 % zu reduzieren und gleichzeitig eine nachhaltige und wettbewerbsfähige Stromversorgung sicherzustellen. Dieses Energie- und Nachhaltigkeitskonzept soll als Modell für Rock Techs Konverter in Red Rock, Ontario, dienen. Das Projekt ist im Rahmen des Critical Raw Materials Act der Europäischen Kommission anerkannt und zeigt grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit zur Dekarbonisierung der Industrie.

A core element of the renewable energy initiative is the direct supply of electricity from new wind and photovoltaic plants in the neighboring Polish municipality of Gubin. ENERTRAG intends to provide at least 70 GWh of renewable electricity per year under a future power purchase agreement (PPA), covering at least 50 percent of the converter's expected electricity demand. For Rock Tech, this means a significant reduction in indirect CO2 emissions (Scope 2 GHG) by at least 25 percent.
"With the planned direct supply of our converter with renewable energy, we are setting an important milestone for the sustainable and competitive production of lithium hydroxide in
From the start of commissioning, a significant share of the converter's electricity demand is to be covered by renewable sources. From 2030 onwards, at least 50 percent of the total electricity demand will be met by renewables.
The project stands as a model for the decarbonization of European industry and underscores the importance of cross-border and cross-company collaboration for greater sustainability.
Dr. Gunar Hering, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ENERTRAG adds: "With this partnership, we are demonstrating how tomorrow's industry can be supplied with climate-friendly and competitive renewable energy today. We are focusing on innovative solutions such as direct electricity supply from new wind and solar parks in Gubin and the use of process heat through sector coupling. The project with Rock Tech is a milestone for the cross-border energy transition and highlights the role of the Lausitz-area in Brandenburg as the future region for sustainable industry. Together, we are creating planning security, strengthening the regional value proposition, and making a true contribution to the decarbonization of the European economy."
The cooperation is subject to positive investment decisions by both parties.
The agreement was signed during the German-Canadian Critical Minerals Round Table. "The partnership between Rock Tech Lithium and ENERTRAG represents a powerful example of how Canadian innovation and international collaboration can drive the clean energy transition.
