GreenBlu Information

GreenBlu has developed a suite of technologies to recover valuable resources from seawater and other brines including desalination waste. Decarbonized magnesium metal can be produced using only renewable electricity and seawater/brine. No waste brine is generated because magnesium chloride is physically extracted from the seawater, reducing salinity while adding zero chemicals. The ocean contains nearly 2 billion megatons of Mg metal, enough for 2 billion years at current consumption. Decades faster than terrestrial mining, we will be first to market with U.S. produced magnesium at globally competitive prices. Magnesium production innovation has stagnated for fifty years. GreenBlu has innovated several patented technologies to create a proprietary method of extracting an unlimited amount of sustainable magnesium for the global Energy Transition. Magnesium is the lightest structural metal weighing 75% less than steel and 33% less than aluminum. We are creating a metal with a 95-fold leverage on decarbonization. Every ton of decarbonized production avoids 28 tons of carbon emissions compared to current methods. Every ton substituted for steel in a car or truck avoids another 67 tons in just one vehicle lifetime. Magnesium is crucial in the production of aluminum alloys, titanium, and steel. Present in nearly all military vehicles, it is vital for national security. Magnesium hydride is a leading candidate for hydrogen storage and transportation. Headquartered near Princeton, New Jersey, GreenBlu was founded in 2016 by three physicists from the Princeton Plasma Physics National Lab. Recognizing brine mining as a revolutionary technique required for the energy transition, GreenBlu was founded to extract valuable dissolved minerals out of previously unviable sources. We are seeking strategic partners.
