Phoenix Metals. Making batteries truly circular.

We produce a battery grade vanadium electrolyte made entirely from waste and residual streams found in Europe.

OUR Technology

How do we do it?

Products are produced from regionally available waste and residual streams, not virgin materials form remote mines. We use an an energy efficient process whereby we maximise the recovery of reagents and chemicals for reuse.

We have developed a selective hydrometallurgical extraction process that is organic solvent free and performed at low temperature conditions. We recover more than 80% of the metal content from our feedstock.

We have developed a vanadium isolation and purification process without the use of ammonia or organic solvents. The resulting process has an extremely low chemical consumption and is able to produce a battery grade purity within two steps.

Why vanadium?

We need bigger batteries.

Europe is on track to power 85% of its economy with renewable energy by 2050, driving a massive need for large-scale energy storage systems. The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is emerging as a critical solution for the energy transition, offering over 20,000 cycles, exceptional safety, and easy recyclability. With VRFBs projected to meet at least 2.5% of energy storage demands, an estimated 170 GWh of capacity will need to be developed.

Vanadium consumption is set to double by 2031.

Primary producers of vanadium globally are China, Russia, South Africa and Brazil.
