Transition Biomining

?? Curious about copper? ? Copper is critical to the electrification we need for decarbonisation, it's used in everything from wires to motor windings to battery collectors. Projections suggest that demand is set to grow from 26 million tonnes (Mt) per year in 2024 to around 35 Mt in 2035. While we have enough copper deposits, the dynamics of copper mining and refining mean that we are likely to face a supply gap of around 10 Mt that could stall decarbonisation… ???ZCC’s Chloe and Max have written an article about the challenges facing the copper industry, and the technologies being developed to close this gap: https://lnkd.in/eFpt2xZN

?? Today marks our graduation from IndieBio SF Batch 15! We are grateful to the IndieBio team and SOSV for their support and mentorship throughout the Batch 15 program! It has been a transformative and humbling experience working alongside such a brilliant and supportive group of investors and founders to build Transition Biomining from the ground up. This week we've watched moss bioreactors bubble, radishes grow larger with 1000x less fertilizer, cold plasma making methanol from air, and midnight customer diligence calls. What started as just an idea is now a reality. In the course of the past few months, we’ve accelerated our technology development and commercial traction. And now we're raising to capitalize on this momentum to bring us to an industrial scale pilot over the next 12-18 months. Want to learn more about what we're building and why it's so essential to the transition to clean energy? Check out this teaser reel that the IndieBio team produced! https://lnkd.in/d7GsqbP7 Shoutout to our fellow founders and now lifelong friends - BryoSphere Biotechnologies, Hypercell Technologies, Stream Genomics, AquaLith, SpiralWave, Nutrition from Water?
