From waste to energy: our European mission

To lead Europe’s transition to renewable energy by delivering circular solutions for critical raw materials.

Our story of transformation through circular chemistry

Phoenix Metals began its journey in 2019 with a vision to reshape how the world approaches energy storage and critical materials. Inspired by the mythological Phoenix that rises from the ashes, our name symbolizes renewal and resilience. At our core, we transform industrial waste streams into high-purity vanadium electrolyte and other essential materials, driving the energy transition while reducing environmental harm.

Through our innovative and sustainable processes, we eliminate the need for harmful chemicals, minimize carbon footprints, and ensure that critical metals remain part of a circular economy.
