Renewable Metals process recovers nearly all of the lithium, nickel, cobalt, copper, and manganese in batteries without causing additional waste.

Travertine is a company focused on carbon dioxide removal and industrial chemical production, aiming to mitigate the environmental impact associated with the extraction of elements for renewable energy. The company employs a proprietary electrochemical process that transforms carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into stable carbonate minerals, effectively storing carbon permanently. In addition to carbon capture, this process generates sulfuric acid, which is utilized in critical element extraction and fertilizer production. By recycling sulfate waste to produce sulfuric acid and minimizing chemical waste, Travertine supports more sustainable practices in the mining and fertilizer industries while generating high-quality carbon credits through its direct air capture and mineralization efforts.

Arca is a leading carbon dioxide removal (CDR) company. Arca accelerates natural process of carbon mineralization, by reacting atmospheric carbon dioxide with ultramafic mine tailings rich in magnesium silicate minerals, such as serpentine and brucite. By leveraging partnerships with mining companies, Arca transforms mine waste into a carbon sink, permanently storing CO₂ as stable carbonate minerals. The company is at the forefront of scaling carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions by integrating geochemical expertise, real-time monitoring, and verification methodologies. Arca collaborates with major buyers of carbon removal credits, such as Shopify, Stripe, Watershed and MaRS, and has established formal methodologies for recognizing and quantifying mineralization in voluntary and compliance carbon markets.
