Green Mineral, an eco-friendly lithium recovery technology company, announced on the 12th that it was finally selected for the 'Net Zero Challenge X' program hosted by the Presidential Committee on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth by 2050 in recognition of its technological prowess and future growth potential.
NetZero Challenge X is a national project that identifies startups with innovative technologies in the fields of carbon neutrality and green growth and fosters their growth into global unicorns. Green Mineral expects this selection to further solidify its leading position in the waste battery recycling sector.
Green Mineral possesses technology to recover lithium from spent batteries, then further extract it from the wastewater (a low-concentration solution containing residual lithium). To further extract lithium from the wastewater, the company is applying biomineralization technology using genetically engineered chlorella.
Jeong Gwang-hwan, CEO of Green Mineral, said, “Green Mineral has been recognized for its technological prowess by being selected for the ‘Super Gap Startup 1000+ Project’ supported by Korea Electric Power Corporation in 2025, and by being selected for the Net Zero Challenge X.” He added, “Using this selection as a stepping stone, we will further accelerate the commercialization of eco-friendly lithium recovery technology, contribute to the realization of carbon neutrality in Korea, and leap forward as a company that leads global technology in the waste battery recycling market.”
