ASMARA: Community Carbon and Municipal Waste Recovery

Sekisui Waste-to-Ethanol Programme Moves Toward Commercial Deployment in Japan

Sekisui Chemical and partners are developing commercial-scale waste-to-ethanol facilities in Japan, using municipal and industrial solid waste-derived syngas as the carbon source for ethanol production.

Why it matters: Sekisui is demonstrating that producer gas from municipal solid waste can qualify for acetogenic fermentation, supporting the case for ASMARA-style community carbon platforms that convert sorted MSW into renewable ethanol and other platform molecules and not just engine duty.

STRATA: Legacy Minerals, Metals and Carbon Recovery

Bioleaching Returns to the Forefront of Sustainable Copper Mining

Growing demand for copper and critical minerals is driving renewed interest in microbial bioleaching as mining companies seek to recover metals from lower-grade ores, tailings and historic mining waste. Advances in microbiology and biotechnology are improving the commercial potential of biological metal recovery, supporting a more circular approach to mineral production.

Why it matters: Copper is essential for electrification, renewable energy and AI infrastructure. Renewed investment in bioleaching demonstrates that legacy mining waste as well as e-waste recovery is increasingly recognised as a valuable resource, supporting the transition from conventional extraction towards circular recovery of misplaced minerals.
