Blueshift, a Boston, MA-based electrochemical climate tech innovator, raised $2.1M in Pre-Seed funding.
Backers included ConocoPhillips Company, Ridgeline and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC), with participation from others.
Working out of North America’s largest climate tech incubator, Greentown Labs, and MIT’s The Engine accelerator, BlueShift will direct the funding to the first pilot installation of its electrochemical technology in Boston Harbor.
Led by CEO and Founder Deep Patel, BlueShift provides electrochemical systems that process alkaline industrial waste and seawater to isolate critical minerals using infrastructure commonly found at desalination and power plants. Its electrochemical mineral extraction with carbon removal system is designed to provide access to alternative critical mineral supply chains, while simultaneously helping to combat climate change. The company utilizes a redox-based, membrane-free electrochemical process to upcycle industrial waste into critical minerals like nickel, and rare earth elements like neodymium, while capturing carbon dioxide directly from the ocean, enabling industrial sectors to access sustainable sources of these vital materials while removing gigatons of excess carbon dioxide from the Earth’s oceans.
