BlueShift is a Boston-based climate-tech company building redox-based, membrane-free electrochemical systems that process alkaline industrial waste and seawater to recover critical minerals such as nickel and rare earth element neodymium. By leveraging infrastructure already found at desalination and power plants, the platform both isolates valuable materials and captures CO₂ directly from the ocean, addressing supply-chain security and climate mitigation simultaneously. The company operates out of Greentown Labs and MIT’s The Engine accelerator, two leading North American climate-tech hubs. Recently raised capital will fund its first pilot installation in Boston Harbor, a key milestone toward commercial deployment. BlueShift positions its technology as a means to create alternative, sustainable mineral supply chains while enabling gigaton-scale oceanic carbon removal. The pre-seed round provides the company with $2.1 million to advance this objective, although no revenue or user metrics have been disclosed to date.

Lithios builds a device that uses electrified intercalation compounds—materials used in lithium‑ion batteries—to selectively absorb lithium from briny water and then release a concentrated, purified lithium solution into fresh water. The process is designed to minimize water use: remaining brine is injected back underground and much of the release-step water can be reused. Founder Mo Alkhadra pivoted from water remediation research to recovering valuable minerals, starting with lithium to meet rising EV battery demand. Lithios has tested 16 different brines from North America, South America, and Europe as it scales the technology. The company plans to move from bench‑top experiments to a suitcase‑sized pilot, then to a refrigerator‑sized system that could be replicated modularly for large commercial projects. Recent financings will fund scale‑up and equipment purchases to support those pilots.
