USA, California: Well Drilling and Pilot Plant Construction at Hell's Kitchen Lithium & Geothermal Power Project to Begin Soon


Controlled Thermal Resources (CTR) has spent six years securing rock solid foundations for the Hell's Kitchen lithium and geothermal power project on the shore of the Salton Sea in Imperial County, Southern California.

Based on the results of an industry-recognized assessment, CTR is advancing to delineation well drilling and pilot plant construction in Q1, 2020. Delivery of the first 17,350 tonnes of battery-grade lithium carbonate is expected in 2023 (Stage 1). The Project is expected to scale up to 34,700 tonnes LCE per annum in 2025 (Stage 2) which will include an additional 17,350 tonnes of lithium hydroxide per annum to meet growing demand.

CTR’s Hell’s Kitchen Power Co. is currently in advanced negotiations to secure a 40 MW power purchase agreement.  Further negotiations with western U.S. power utilities are also underway.
