pH7 Technologies has been granted $1 million in funding by the B.C. Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) to enhance copper recovery and on-site hydrogen production at its pilot plant located in Lower Mainland, British Columbia. The company, known for its closed-loop critical metals extraction process with minimal emissions and green hydrogen output, will utilize the funding to further develop its proprietary technology. By applying heap leaching to extract copper from low-grade sulfide ores, pH7 aims to revolutionize the industry by tackling a major limitation in current extraction methods. This advancement is expected to significantly reduce energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and water usage, while also decreasing chemical waste. Moreover, the innovation is set to boost the economy and mining revenue by recovering copper from ores with lower grades. Additionally, pH7's process generates on-site green hydrogen, offering a sustainable energy source for mining operations and machinery. The CEO of pH7 Technologies, Mohammad Doostmohammadi, expressed gratitude for the investment, highlighting the importance of advancing sustainable metal extraction methods. CICE's President and CEO, Sarah Goodman, acknowledged British Columbia's leadership in clean technology and expressed pleasure in supporting pH7's clean solutions for copper extraction. With CICE's significant investment, pH7 Technologies is set to further its mission of developing environmentally friendly metal extraction technologies for a more sustainable future. This funding represents a key step in revolutionizing the industry and advancing cleaner and more efficient extraction processes.
