LiGenerate develops Solid State Reduction, a modular low-temperature refining process (the LiGen Cell) that converts metal oxides and sulfides into high-purity elemental metals for mining companies and battery recyclers. It recovers critical metals such as tantalum, antimony, germanium, cobalt, nickel, and lithium, including from recycled battery black mass, to support localized, closed-loop critical mineral supply chains.
