We replace decade-plus development timelines with metal farms that begin production within one to two years, turning stranded soils into high-performance assets.
To operationalize a metal farm vs. 12-17 years for traditional industry. Conventional nickel assets require decade-plus exploration, permitting, and construction cycles before they can produce a single ton. Our fields reduce development timelines by 90%.
Total cash cost per ton of nickel produced versus the industry average. Average operating costs for traditional industry are rising, expected to increase from $16k per ton to $19k per ton by 2030, driven by degrading ore bodies and rising energy prices. Genomines’ plants enable consistent, low-cost operations.
Capital investment required per ton of nickel equivalent produced vs. traditional industry. A standard greenfield nickel mine typically invests €30-60k of CAPEX per ton of nickel. By cutting lengthy exploration timelines and replacing large industrial equipment with plants, we significantly reduce the capital burden needed for each project.
Target soil nickel concentrations for Genomines’ metal farms. The technology unlocks new, profitable investment opportunities on land that is currently too toxic for traditional agriculture and below the cut-off grade - 1.2% to 1.5% - for traditional industry.
Genomines unlocks a new nickel supply on land that has never been part of the global supply equation, creating a parallel supply chain that operates outside geopolitical corridors of control.
For OEMs, battery manufacturers, and defence suppliers, it is a sovereign alternative to a supply chain concentrated in the hands of only a few actors.
of global nickel production will be concentrated between Indonesia and Russia by 2030. Every Western OEM, battery manufacturer, and defence supplier is exposed to a supply chain controlled by sovereign interests.
Global nickel demand by 2040, driven by EV battery electrification. A supply chain already under pressure has no margin for further concentration.
Of new capital required by 2030 to meet projected nickel demand. A multi-billion dollar gap exists between what the market needs and what the current supply chain can deliver.
Of land globally within Genomines' target soil concentrations. The potential of this new resource base would exceed current global nickel output and is accessible only through our technology.
Our production process rehabilitates soil, sequesters carbon, and generates clean energy. These are not offsets or add-ons, but are the structural consequences of phytoextraction.
The traditional metals industry accounts for 11% of global GHG emissions, equivalent to ~6 gigatons of CO2eq. released every year. Genomines produces at a fraction of the footprint, pulling carbon down as we pull metal up.
Yearly electricity generated per 2,000 hectare cluster. Our thermal process captures and recycles excess heat from production, enabling each commercial farm to generate enough electricity to route excess power back to the local grid.
Of soil excavated per ton of nickel produced. Traditional extraction moves mountains to find metal, producing 40-120 tons of waste per ton of metal recovered. By contrast, our operations produce no waste rock.
