Powering Europe's energy- and material
future with circular innovation

Phoenix is a key European enabler of energy and material autonomy

We recover critical and strategic metals from industrial residues, including steel slag and refinery ashes. Our technology reduces environmental impact while strengthening Europe’s strategic autonomy in critical raw materials.
 
Co-funded by the European Union, through the Just Transition Fund (JTF) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under Kansen voor West III (KvW3), as well as by the Municipality of Rotterdam, the Province of South Holland, the Province of North Holland, and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).

Circular raw materials from Europe's industrial backbone

We recover vanadium and other metals such as calcium, iron, manganese and magnesium from steel slag and refinery ash across Europe, enabling regional value creation and reducing dependency on imports.

CMRA target

The EU’s Critical Raw Materials
Act aims to achieve 25%
recycled critical materials by
2030.

Progress

25% by 2030
