Securing critical and strategic raw material supply
Our proprietary metal extraction technology and innovative Geoprime® solutions help meet two major industry challenges:
1. Every year, heavy industry produces billions of tonnes of tailings and slags. Most of this is landfilled. These tailings contain enormous untapped potential for strategic and critical raw materials. We utilise mine tailings and other sidestreams, and extract the valuable metals out. What is left is low carbon binder – Betolar's circular cement.
2. Various industries are producing annually billions of tons of industrial sidestreams that are underused, while at the same time the diminishing virgin natural resources are being used in construction material production.
3. Cement manufacturing is the largest single source of emissions in the construction industry, creating approximately 7% of global CO2 emissions. The most important raw material for cement is non-renewable limestone, which releases large amounts of CO2 in the cement production process. In addition, cement production requires a lot of thermal energy.
