2024 HIGHLIGHTS
Innovative geothermal energy offering: significant advances
- Geothermal energy: an unprecedented strategic opportunity
In the current geopolitical context, geothermal energy is asserting itself as a sovereign and competitive energy source. It offers manufacturers and local authorities a solution to secure local supply, thereby reducing dependence on imports and exposure to gas prices volatility.
The French Energy and Climate Strategy (SFEC) has set an ambitious target: to increase geothermal production more than fourfold by 2035, reaching 28 TWh4
- Roissy Charles de Gaulle adopts geothermal energy with Arverne Group: a major energy transition
At the end of 2024, Arverne Group participated in the installation of the geothermal infrastructure at Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport for Groupe ADP, representing a major step forward in the airport's decarbonisation. With an annual production of up to 80 GWh, this installation will avoid the emission of 19,000 tonnes of CO2.
Completed in just three months, this deep geothermal energy project was carried out on time and on schedule, contributing significantly to the growth in business volume in 2024.
- Success of the integrated geothermal heat offering: first contract signed and target maintained for initial production in 2026
The teams have designed an innovative and unique offering for the French market, significantly reducing the time between the design and commissioning of geothermal heat production projects. Arverne Group offers an integrated service solution, including geoscience and financing studies, drilling operations and geothermal power plants.
The strategy launched in 2024, focused on the Île-de-France region, has quickly delivered results. In early 2025, Arverne Group signed an initial contract for the design, drilling and operation of a low-carbon heat network powered by geothermal energy. Developed in partnership with Dalkia and Île-de-France Énergies Territoires, this project will benefit the cities of Clichy-sous-Bois and Livry-Gargan. Among the top 5 geothermal heat networks in Île de France, with a production capacity of 115 GWh, this project will reduce household energy bills by 50% over the entire concession period (30 years).
With a portfolio of projects under review totalling over 60 power plants and 3.5 TWh of potential production, Arverne Group is accelerating its development through an agile model and a selection of strategic partners. The Group confirms its objective of initial geothermal heat production in 2026.
Cutting-edge geothermal heat and lithium project in Alsace: economic viability confirmed
- Strong demand for lithium expected in the face of insufficient supply
Electrification of transport: a key lever for achieving a 90% reduction in GHG emissions in Europe by 20405
The energy transition is leading to increased demand for critical materials, including lithium, which is essential for electric batteries and energy storage. By 2030, global lithium demand is expected to increase by 142% to 2.6 Mt of lithium equivalent carbonate (LCE), while supply could become insufficient by 2026. Lithium prices could recover as early as the second half of 20256
- Validated pre-feasibility study (PFS): a key step towards industrialisation
Arverne Group and its subsidiary Lithium de France have taken a key step towards the industrialisation of the geothermal heat and lithium project, by successfully completing the pre-feasibility study (PFS). The results have reinforced the initial assumptions and confirmed key parameters ensuring the feasibility of the project.
The identified operational costs (Opex) position the project in the first quartile of global lithium producers, ensuring its viability and competitiveness.
As a result of this study, Arverne Group has announced technical and strategic decisions and updated the project's key financial assumptions.
- Target production: 27,000 t/year of battery-grade lithium carbonate (LC) by 2031;
- Lower lithium production costs: estimated at less than €4,500/t of LC (vs. €5,000/t of LHM, pre-PFS results), positioning the project in the top quartile of the cost curve by cash costs;
- Better process efficiency: lithium recovery rate of 91% (vs 80/85% pre-PFS results);
- Investment and production: total gross capex (excluding subsidies) adjusted to €1.8bn €1.9bn (including 15% contingency);
- Choice of product: decision to produce lithium carbonate (LC), a product more suited to the goals of the energy transition in terms of electric mobility;
- Choice of extraction technology: extraction technology (DLE) by "adsorption", with the aim of confirming its performance through a demonstrator in 2025.
Arverne Group strengthens its operational capabilities to support its growth
To support its rapid expansion and industrial ambitions, Arverne Group significantly strengthened its operational capabilities in 2024:
- Expanding 3D exploration footprint by conducting three 3D data exploration campaigns, including two in Alsace and a first in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, a high-potential yet under-explored geothermal region. These campaigns aim to accurately map geological structures to identify underground geothermal water reservoirs. As a result of these efforts, the total area of 3D imaging data has reached 410 km², positioning Arverne Group as the largest owner of 3D mapped surface area in the country.
- Enhancing lithium exploration by securing a new lithium permit in Alsace and filed two new PER (Exclusive Exploration Permit, licence) applications, further strengthening its position in subsurface resource exploration.
- Reinforcing drilling capabilities with a B18 rig, developed with its strategic partner Herrenknecht, renowned for the quality of its drilling machines. This compact and innovative rig maximises drilling performance in urban environments, reduces noise pollution and incorporates an optimised energy recovery system.
- Submitting a new drilling permit application, thereby validating all the objectives set for 2024.

Acceleration and strategic deployment of Arverne Group projects in 2025
- Continued strong growth in gross business volume10, expected to be between €25m and €30m, a +45% increase to 75% compared to 2024. This growth will be driven in particular by the completion of operations on a geothermal doublet11 for Safran Aircraft Engines at the end of the year. This major project, delivered in partnership with Dalkia, includes the design, construction and maintenance of the future geothermal power plant in Villaroche.
- Deployment of an investment programme of around €50m for the first geothermal heat production, including the launch of the pre-industrial phase.
- Launch of the pre-industrial phase of the geothermal heat and lithium project in Alsace, for a period of 12 to 18 months, including in particular the definitive feasibility study (DFS) and the operations of the first geothermal doublet.
- Signing of contracts for the first geothermal heat production in 2026. Following a first contract signed for the cities of Clichy-sous-Bois and Livry-Gargan in early 2025, other signatures are planned throughout the year, supported by a solid project portfolio and a strong commercial strategy.
- Strengthening of Mission-Driven Company commitments, supporting responsible and sustainable development.
Arverne Group outlines the stages of the low-carbon geothermal heat and lithium project in Alsace:
- Pre-industrial phase: starting in 2025, with an expected duration of 12 to 18 months
Arverne Group, with its subsidiary Lithium de France, is launching the pre-industrial phase incorporating: the definitive feasibility study or DFS12, the first drilling operations (first doublet), the installation and commissioning of a DLE13 technology demonstrator and the bankable feasibility study or BFS14
- DFS: building on the analysis of the PFS results15, the DFS work was launched in early 2025, with an estimated duration of 12 to 18 months.
- First drilling operations: scheduled for the second half of 2025 (first doublet), subject to obtaining prefectural authorisation.
- DLE demonstrator: after the laboratory study phase with Equinor in Norway, a lithium extractor demonstrator will be installed on the first doublet in Alsace. The first doublet and the DLE demonstrator aim in particular to confirm lithium resources and produce the first low-carbon lithium salts, battery-grade LCE.
- BFS: in parallel with the operational steps, the bankable feasibility study (BFS) will be conducted under a co-mandate with Macquarie Capital and Crédit Agricole Corporate Investment Bank.
This pre-industrial phase represents a self-financed investment of around €50m and constitutes a preliminary stage for the launch of the industrial phase with Phase 1.
- Industrial phase Phase 1: towards the first production of geothermal heat and lithium in Alsace
Phase 1 targets the first production of geothermal heat in 2027 and the first production of geothermal lithium in 2028.
This phase includes the completion of 2 doublets (complementary to the one from the pre-industrial phase), 3 geothermal plants, 3 lithium extraction units (DLE) and 1 purification module. The Group expects a gross investment of around €370m, divided between the project's strategic partners, subsidies, bank financing and equity financing. The gross investment amount could be revalued following the completion of the pre-industrial phase.
