Nordic Salt Cycle recovers critical and strategic minerals with a low-cost, flexible and scalable molten salt process. At Nordic Salt Cycle, we believe that the world needs to move more quickly to a mineral economy – transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy on an accelerated timeline. For us, this goes hand-in-hand with developing new technologies for cleaner and more efficient recovery of critical and strategic minerals, as well as ensuring security of supply in increasingly challenging times. With our roots and heart in the Nordics, we want to leverage the massive potential of recovery and recycling to limit the need to import minerals to Europe. The need for mining will never completely disappear, but by recovering and reintroducing vital minerals into the value chain, we can contribute to Europe’s energy independence, economic resilience, and environmental sustainability.

AIRMO is an international climate and space tech company with German roots. We monitor methane emissions using proprietary instruments: spectrometer and atmospheric LiDAR. Our machine learning learning algorithm runs processing enabling leakage detection and quantification. We use in-house built instruments to measure methane from the ground, from the air, and - starting next year - from space. We are a VCs and European Space Agency (ESA) backed startup with the goal to become the global leader in methane emissions monitoring.

Decarbonising complex manufacturing processes

Boost your R&D success with the worlds most intuitive chemical simulation platform. Unlock valuable insights at the atomistic level and stay ahead of the pack. Data-driven rational design of: 🔋 Battery materials ⚙️ Metals & alloys 🔎 Optics 🔷 Lubricants and more! Our mission is to democratize simulations and empower curious minds worldwide.
