AlkaLi Labs
AlkaLi Labs is revolutionizing resource recovery through bioengineering, specifically focusing on extracting critical minerals like lithium, rare earth elements, and cobalt from industrial waste streams. Their technology leverages AI-assisted protein design, genome engineering with CRISPR/Cas9, and bioprocess engineering using conventional wastewater treatment equipment. This approach offers a sustainable, low-impact alternative to traditional mining, addressing the growing global demand for minerals essential for green energy technologies. They aim to meet domestic lithium demand using waste from oil and gas wells and rare earth elements from mine drainage. AlkaLi Labs partners with industry operators to access these mineral-rich waste streams.
