REEgen | 443 followers on LinkedIn. Sustainably Mining Critical Metals with Biology | Rare earth elements (REE) are critical for sustainable energy infrastructure, but their current environmental impact is simply too high. REEgen is reimagining the global rare earth supply by replacing the most harmful production steps with genetically optimized microbial processes, securing these critical elements for a future of unbounded, widespread renewable energy.

We’re excited to announce that REEgen was selected as a DOE Voucher recipient! We will work with Boundless Impact Research & Analytics to develop a lifecycle analysis (LCA) that can help us identify areas to improve our rare earth recovery process to minimize environmental impacts. We’re grateful for the support and look forward to making more impacts with the outcomes! #startups #criticalminerals #sustainableREE

Last week, REEgen traveled to New York City for NY Climate Week! Our CEO Alexa Schmitz pitched to investors at Venture For ClimateTech ’s showcase, wrapping up our participation in their fourth cohort, and demoed at Activate ’s Hard Tech Showcase. Lots of great collisions came out of the trip, and we look forward to keeping in touch! #nyclimateweek #climateweek #startups #sustainableREE #criticalminerals

REEgen’s CTO Sean Medin made a trip down to Washington D.C. last week to speak at the ARPA-E Ammonia and Critical Minerals Recovery Workshop. He was invited to give a lightning talk on REEgen’s work and gained a better understanding of the landscape of rare earth element recovery from wastewater. We look forward to potential collaborations! #criticalminerals #biotech #rareearthelements

We're excited to share that REEgen's CEO and Co-Founder Alexa Schmitz is speaking at a webinar hosted by the Critical Materials Innovation Hub (CMI) ! Join her on Tuesday, August 20th at 2 PM EST to learn more about genetic strategies for commercializing rare earth biomanufacturing.

We’re thrilled to announce that REEgen is one of only five teams to win a Stage 3 Air Force Research Laboratory award in the Mid-Atlantic region! This award money will help accelerate our work in scaling up bacteria-based rare earth element (REE) purification. Thank you to the AFRL Mid-Atlantic Research Hub for their ongoing support! We look forward to continuing our collaboration. #climatetech #startups #AFRL

REEgen's CTO, Sean Medin will be at the #REIAAnnualConference in Tokyo, Japan this June. If you're there, you can catch him on the panel, "New process technologies for rare earth separation," to learn more about how REEgen and others are tackling this tough problem in the rare earth supply chain:

Continuing our #RareEarthElement series, next up is element number 63, Europium! Named after the European continent and discovered by Eugène-Antole Demarçay in 1896, Europium has many practical applications. Europium plays a vital role in producing vibrant red colors in both television screens and smartphones. Europium is also an excellent neutron absorber, which makes it a great material for control rods in nuclear reactors. #Europium #Electronics
