- Climate tech companies are pivoting to critical minerals
Climate tech companies are shifting their business strategies to focus on critical minerals and metals production to survive in a political environment with reduced climate support. Boston Metal raised $75 million to expand into niobium and tantalum production, while Brimstone is pivoting to produce alumina alongside cement to align with US government priorities.
