We’re proud to share that Remediiate has been featured prominently in an in-depth interview published by The Foresight Event in May 2024, in which Peter Martin, Technical Manager at Vale’s Clydach Nickel Refinery, describes how Remediiate is central to the refinery’s decarbonisation strategy.

Established in 1902, Vale’s Clydach Refinery is the UK’s only nickel refinery and one of just three or four in Europe, producing 40,000 tonnes of high-purity nickel per year for customers in over 30 countries. The refinery faces a complex decarbonisation challenge — with multiple dispersed CO₂ emission points across a 53-acre site — and has been actively exploring innovative usage-based solutions rather than costly geological storage.

Through collaboration with the RICE group at Swansea University, Vale was introduced to the potential of algae-based CO₂ capture, which led directly to their partnership with Remediiate. As Peter Martin explains, the team is now working on a new generation of internally lit bioreactors — using LED lighting so that algae can absorb CO₂ consistently day and night, all year round — with the long-term ambition of capturing all CO₂ generated on site.

This is exactly the kind of industrial partnership that demonstrates what Remediiate’s technology can do in the real world — tackling one of the UK’s most complex decarbonisation challenges with a scalable, commercially viable solution that turns waste emissions into valuable products.
