Duranium

Duranium is addressing the strategic vulnerability of critical mineral supply chains, currently dominated by China and Russia. The company focuses on the domestic production of essential metals such as Titanium, Magnesium, Aluminum, Zirconium, and Hafnium within the United States. Duranium aims to achieve superior profitability compared to existing processes while maintaining carbon neutrality through innovative co-production methods.

The conventional carbochlorination process, traditionally used for producing critical metals, faces challenges related to carbon feedstock procurement, byproduct waste, and significant CO₂ emissions. Duranium introduces a groundbreaking reactor technology that recycles CO₂ emissions into valuable feedstock (CO) and generates bleaching agents as a co-product. This closed-loop system significantly reduces emissions and enables metal pricing competitive with Chinese levels, without relying on subsidies. Duranium's approach unlocks the full potential of carbochlorination for U.S. critical mineral production, enhancing national security and economic resilience.
