ACCELERATING THE RATE OF CLIMATE INNOVATION BY:

Enabling net-zero critical minerals with a novel hydrogen-based metal refining process that slashes cost, energy use and carbon emissions without compromising performance.

Industry Low Carbon Industrial Materials Cohort 25-3
PROBLEM FOCUS
Critical minerals refining is expensive, conflict-heavy and highly polluting today, with consumption expected to increase six-fold by 2040.
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
Zincovery’s refining platform extracts high-purity metals from ores and industrial wastes with 70% less energy and 95% fewer emissions - at half the cost.
1. Hydrogen reduction separates target metals bound in complex feedstocks as leachable oxides, replacing energy and carbon-heavy coal smelting and high-pressure leaching processes.
2. Selective leach dissolves the target metal while minimizing contamination.
3. Solution cleaning and electrowinning extracts high-purity metals.
