Target Phase II
Target Phase I
Today's aluminum production is unsustainable on Earth and unscalable for space.
Modern aluminum production relies on energy-intensive processes that generate carbon emissions and produce waste. Though powerful, the current supply chain is fundamentally unsustainable.
Space agencies and private companies aim to build long-term infrastructure on the Moon. But every kilogram of material must be launched from Earth making a long-term lunar presence prohibitely expensive.
Sustainable Extraction on Earth and Unlocking Local Resources in Space.
We replace today's energy-intensive and polluting aluminum supply chain with a production chain that reduces waste, emissions, and overall the environmental impact.
We minimize launching heavy materials from Earth by producing aluminum and oxygen directly from lunar regolith.
A sustainable aluminum production chain designed to operate on Earth and the Moon.
On Earth: Pre-processing of alternative aluminum-bearing materials, reducing reliance on depleting bauxite reserves.
On the Moon: Pre-processing enables the recovery of valuable byproducts supporting different lunar applications.
On Earth: Byproducts from pre-processing are used as electrolytes. Additionally, with inert electrodes, aluminum is produced without carbon emissions while releasing oxygen instead of CO₂.
On the Moon: Regolith-derived materials are used directly for electrolysis, producing both aluminum and oxygen. Aluminum can be used for infrastructure while oxygen supports life systems and can be used as rocket propellant.
On Earth: The sustainably produced aluminum is transformed into components with minimal waste.
On the Moon: The technology leverages the natural lunar vacuum to manufacture parts directly from locally produced aluminum.
