Basalt

Abundant around the world, basalt is a divalent metal rich volcanic rock. We utilize its unique composition and reactivity as the backbone of our process, extracting high-value metal composites while permanently locking away carbon dioxide.

Waste Desalination Brine

A byproduct of some regions’ essential water infrastructure, reject brine is typically a high-salinity environmental challenge. We valorize this waste stream, harvesting useful metals for development of advanced materials.

Carbon Dioxide

By capturing and mineralizing industrial emissions, we achieve a permanent, carbon-negative sequestration state, transforming a gaseous liability into solid, marketable industrial materials.

Our Products
