INNOVATE UK TO SUPPORT MAGMEC IN DRIVING SUSTAINABLE METAL PRODUCTION

London, UK – 27th November, 2024

 

Magmec announces its acceptance for Innovate UK Business Growth. This milestone advances Magmec’s commitment for sustainable brine mining to produce low-cost structural metal.

 

Innovate UK’s Business Growth support program is designed to help innovative businesses accelerate their growth through tailored, one-to-one coaching and access to a broad ecosystem of local, national, and international partners. Magmec will benefit from expert guidance to refine its commercial strategy, funding opportunities, and expand into international markets.

 

Magmec’s technology tackles the challenge of decarbonising mineral and metal production, a hard-to-abate sector responsible for an estimated 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions annually. Magmec eliminates the need for land-based mining and its associated emissions by using brine, which can be sourced from coastlines or as a waste by-product of water desalination. This process produces low-carbon metal to meet the growing demand for critical materials in industries like aerospace, automotive, and high-tech.

 

This partnership is a step forward in Magmec’s journey to support build a more sustainable future and make a global impact in the fight against climate change.
