Global Demand for Critical Metals
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) estimates that global materials demand will more than double by 2060, reaching an astounding 167 billion tons. Achieving climate neutrality requires innovative extraction techniques and unconventional starting points.
Provectus Engineering Sonic Solutions believes that waste streams are the perfect starting point to address current raw material and resource supply chain challenges. We utilize patented sonochemistry approaches tailored specifically to each project, ensuring unique and effective solutions. Contact us to learn more about how we can address the demands for critical metals.
Customized and Data-Driven Technology
Depending on the project, Provectus Engineering Sonic Solutions employs a data-driven and bespoke application of technology enabling permanent material outcomes not otherwise possible. This unique capability has attracted the funding attention of the US Department of Energy and multiple US National Laboratories in addition to higher education academia partnerships.
Global Demand for Raw Resources Is Skyrocketing
Electric vehicles and energy storage solutions require minerals like graphite, lithium, and cobalt, potentially increasing demand by nearly 500% by 2050.
Meanwhile, dependence on permanent magnets for use in space exploration, guidance systems, communications, power generation, and health care is driving an exponentially increasing need for rare earth elements (REEs).
Global net-zero ambitions will depend on the ability to get enough raw materials for solar panels, wind turbines, lithium-ion batteries, and other critical clean energy technologies.
