We have successfully developed, validated and commercialized two “green”, low-cost processes for producing critical battery materials, namely pCAM NMC. Our Selective Acid Leaching (SAL) and Combined Leach (CL) processes, discovered by the University of Queensland and developed by PBT, produce high-quality, more affordable nickel and cobalt battery materials with a lower environmental footprint.

Our first commercial refinery, K & E Germany, produces Nickel and Cobalt products from intermediate materials and black mass feeds. We are replicating this business globally, utilising our repeatable plant design to capture the growth in the pCAM and LIB markets.

PBT’s processing technology is supporting the global journey into the rapidly expanding renewables industry. PBT will also directly create new jobs in the Australian and International critical minerals industry, by providing both an economic primary production route and a competitive recycling production methodology.

Industry leading emissions, removal of the need for high pressure or temperature and the elimination of toxic solvents differentiates PBT as a “green” supplier. These environmental benefits along with the ability to recycle in the same efficient processes are passed on to the batteries made with our products.
