## Description

BiotaTec is a leading brand that specializes in developing and licensing next-generation rapid biomining solutions for critical raw materials (CRMs). With a focus on sustainability and the carbon-neutral future, BiotaTec's innovative technology, BiotaMet (BM), offers a cost-efficient extraction method for critical metals from low-grade ores and wastes. This groundbreaking process combines novel bio-treatment steps in the most efficient order, resulting in yields as high as 99% in a short period of time. Not only does it produce neutral wastes, but it also promotes the circular use of water and industrial tailings. Driven by a mission to contribute to a carbon-neutral future, BiotaTec aims to increase the availability of critical raw materials from local low-grade ores and wastes. The brand aspires to become a global leader in providing biomining technologies. BiotaTec has a dedicated biomining center and operational pilot-scale units in Tartu, Estonia, where its experienced team of 16 talented individuals is based. With a history dating back to July 2007, BiotaTec initially focused on developing environment monitoring tools based on metagenomics. Over the years, the company expanded its research into employing microorganism-based solutions for innovative bioleaching technologies. With the support of a Green Deal grant from the European Innovation Council, BiotaTec is currently developing its BioMining Centre and setting up a pilot-scale biotreatment unit. Their ongoing research includes the development of various bioleaching approaches for extracting different metals from low-grade ores and industrial waste streams. BiotaTec's ground-breaking solutions are suitable for the rapid and efficient valorization of various materials, including argillite, WEEE (Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment), Bauxite Residue, black shales and oil shales, phosphate rocks, dolomite fine fraction waste, and other metals/organics containing secondary waste and ores. As a brand committed to sustainability and environmental safety, BiotaTec is paving the way for a greener and more resource-efficient future.
