What We Do
Genomines develops plant-based metal extraction, using genetically enhanced hyperaccumulator plants to absorb and concentrate nickel from low-grade, underutilized soils. After harvest, the biomass is processed to recover battery-grade metals through a lower-emissions alternative to conventional mining. Its platform aims to turn otherwise unproductive land into productive metal farms while supporting clean-energy supply chains, with potential to expand beyond nickel to other critical materials.
