The risk of nickel shortage is real, with demand exceeding supply from 2024 onwards. Furthermore, the carbon footprint of nickel mining is very high.
Genomines unlocks a sustainable nickel supply by extracting the metal from low-concentration polluted soils, using genetically enhanced hyperaccumulating plants.
We produce Class 1 nickel, nickel sulfate, and nickel oxide on polluted land, meaning we remediate the land while producing metal.
Business model > Full vertical integration. We sell metal.
Challenges ahead > Acquire ICP-MS + DSP capability. Build a company culture. Deploy operations in 3 countries.
What 21st will provide > Technical mentorship and support for DSP implementation, thanks to CentraleSupélec's Materials and Process Engineering Laboratory (LGPD).
