Problem
Our mission is to democratize access to the global rare earth supply chain. Currently, China accounts for 90% of the world's rare earth refining, using highly polluting processes that generate international dependence, geopolitical tensions, and strategic advantages in key sectors for the energy transition. To make matters even more complex, the technology currently used to refine these elements is solvent extraction, an extremely capital-intensive method that requires infrastructure the size of football stadiums and generates astronomical amounts of toxic waste.
Solutions Offered - Summary
Modular rare earth refineries
Solutions Offered - Details
We develop modular refineries, the size of a container, for the sustainable separation of rare earths. This enables mining companies to move up the value chain: instead of selling a low-value concentrate, they can refine it and sell rare earth oxides, a product with very high added value.
