Genomines
Founders
Genomines pioneers plant-based metal extraction using genetically enhanced hyperaccumulator plants to produce battery-grade nickel. The company offers a sustainable alternative to conventional mining by bioengineering plants to absorb metals from low-grade soils and mine tailings. Genomines' proprietary synthetic biology platform produces metals faster, cheaper, and cleaner than traditional methods, with 40-50% lower costs and significantly reduced carbon emissions. The technology enables mining in new geographies where conventional extraction is not viable, addressing critical supply chain challenges for the energy transition.
