Lower Scope 1 EmissionsToxicityOperating Costs
Our ESG-friendly biosurfactants offer a brighter future for mining operations with significant sustainability and performance advantages.
9
more mineral resources needed
For wind than gas-fired power plants.
6
more mineral inputs needed
For electric vehicles than conventional cars.
Current extraction methods cannot cost-effectively extract remaining low-grade ores, creating production limitations in existing operations.
40
increase in copper demand
Specifically for use in clean energy technologies.
70
of remaining copper trapped In primary sulfides
That traditional extraction can’t reach.
Metal mining is water-intensive and produces more toxic waste by volume than any U.S. industry, with permits not being issued or renewed due to ESG concerns.
2.2
tons of slag
Generated per each ton of copper, causing environmental and storage concerns.
1.5
pound of toxins
Emitted into the air from traditional mining operations.
