Mining nickel with plants, while removing carbon with rocks

Unlocking high-efficiency, permanent carbon removal by combining enhanced rock weathering with nickel hyperaccumulating plants to produce carbon-negative nickel.

Nature-based technologies.

Through the unique (and patent pending) combination of two nature-based technologies, Nickel Phytomining and Enhanced Rock Weathering, we are able to turn plants and minerals into nickel and carbon dioxide removal credits. They can be sold individually or together as NegativeNickel

Gigatonnes of potential

Too Much CO₂
Not Enough Nickel

To restore the climate to pre-industrial levels of CO2 and protect the future of the planet, over 1 trillion tonnes of CO₂ needs to be removed from the Earth’s atmosphere by the end of the century. 

All of the climate models that limit global warming to 1.5°F (2.7°F), require gigatonnes (Gt) of CDR by 2050, and we are on track to need around 8 Gt minimum. Today humanity is only permanently removing around 1.3 million tonnes per year. 

Metalplant’s mission is to harness the world’s insatiable nickel demand and related supply chain investments to drive gigatonne-scale, profitable CDR. All while producing the world’s cleanest, greenest nickel that is a critical mineral for the clean energy transition.

Our mission is to facilitate the clean energy transition in a sustainable way, using the infrastructure investment in critical battery metals to help solve the planet’s carbon dioxide problem.
