Critical Minerals

Engineering Secure, Low-Carbon Material Supply Chains

Approach image

OUR APPROACH

We deliver integrated solutions across the entire critical minerals value chain—from resource extraction to refining, recycling, and market delivery. Our expertise spans primary pathways (mining, beneficiation, refining) and secondary pathways (recycling, recovery, circular processing), enabling clients to reduce import reliance, hedge against price volatility, and build truly sustainable materials economies.

Why Dastur Energy

Decades of experience in mine planning, metallurgical process design (hydro- and pyrometallurgy), markets, and supply-chain engineering. We integrate technology, economics, logistics, and low-carbon pathways to deliver commercially viable, environmentally responsible projects that scale.

Our expertise spans the complete value chain—from resource definition and extraction to refining, recycling, and market delivery—ensuring projects that strengthen material security while maximizing returns.

FEEDSTOCK BLENDS

Feedstock formulation enabled through blending and other preprocessing strategies allows low-cost, low-quality biomass to be blended with higher cost and higher quality to achieve the in-feed specifications at the conversion facility.
