Tekedia Capital is excited to announce our investment in Duranium, a US-based rare earth metal production and processing company. But this is beyond producing and processing metals, the key component is Duranium’s novel reactor technology which slashes emissions, and reduces costs, making it possible to compete with any producer anywhere.
Deploying a modernized carbochlorination metallurgy with a reactor that recycles its byproducts into feedstock (CO) and creates a highly valuable coproduct (hypochlorite), Duranium is unlocking the full potential of proven carbochlorination methods for Titanium, Magnesium, Aluminum, Zirconium, and Hafnium via co-production.
With their novel technology, the company projects to achieve best in class profitability at Chinese-level pricing without U.S. subsidies. Led by a McKinsey alum and the guy who built the only U.S. pilot magnesium electrolyzer in the last 20+ years, we expect this company to be part of the mix as the world looks for ways to reduce dependence on China for these special materials.
