Active Development · Containerized DIBC Deployment

The Minerals
Are In the Waste.

BrineVault's Containerized Direct Brine Conversion (DIBC) unit recovers critical minerals — lithium, magnesium, potassium, and more — directly from industrial brine waste streams. What operators pay to dispose of, BrineVault converts into domestic supply chain assets.

Containerized & Modular

Deployable on-site at oil & gas, DLE lithium, plating rinse and sludges, and mining operations. No large-scale plant infrastructure required.

Liability to Revenue

Waste disposal is a costly, regulated liability. BrineVault flips the economics — hazardous waste becomes recoverable critical minerals.

Domestic Supply Chain

Reduces foreign mineral import dependency by extracting critical minerals from existing domestic industrial waste flows.

SludgeVaultSM

Modular Metal Recovery Unit

A containerized multi-stage recovery system that extracts Nickel, Cobalt, Copper, and Zinc from industrial sludge streams — including electroplating F006 waste, machining sludge, and spent refinery catalyst. Deployed at the point of generation. Eliminates F006 hazardous waste generation before it occurs — no new permits, no waste treatment classification, no cradle-to-grave liability.

Eliminates F006 Hazardous Waste

By removing metals upstream of the facility's wastewater treatment system, the resulting sludge is no longer metal-laden — dramatically reducing or eliminating hazardous waste disposal costs and generator status.

Saleable Metal Sulfide Concentrates

Recovers CuS, NiS, CoS, and ZnS as commercially valuable products. Hub-and-spoke model transports mixed concentrate to a central SludgeVault facility for selective metal-by-metal separation at premium domestic smelter pricing.

Zero Cradle-to-Grave Liability

Processing occurs onsite under a process-improvement framework. No hazardous waste manifesting, no transporter handoff, no TSDF dependency. The chain of custody stays at the facility.

The Framework

The Carbon-to-Value Model

Three interconnected platforms. One unified thesis: every waste stream, every stranded watt, and every industrial liability is a resource waiting to be unlocked.

01
Modular Mineral Recovery

BrineVault's containerized DIBC unit transforms hazardous brine waste into recoverable domestic critical minerals. Industrial liabilities become strategic supply chain assets.

e-Methanol & e-Fuels

The Methanol-to-X model synthesizes low-carbon fuels from renewable power and captured CO₂. Stranded electrons become liquid energy — storable, shippable, and scalable to global maritime markets.

Methanol-to-X e-Methanol Marine Fuel
03
X-to-Power & Hydrogen

Localized energy infrastructure bridging waste streams and power demand. Small-package reformers convert methanol back to hydrogen on-site for off-grid communities, data centers, and industrial zones.

Methanol-to-X Pathways

Three proven feedstock routes to low-carbon methanol and hydrogen — all designed for modular, decentralized deployment away from traditional industrial centers.

Pathway 01 · Renewables
Solar / Wind / Geothermal → e-Methanol

Renewable power drives electrolysis to produce green hydrogen, which combines with captured CO₂ to yield e-methanol — a carbon-neutral liquid fuel. Oxygen and hydrogen offtakes generate additional revenue streams alongside carbon credits.

ElectrolysisGreen H₂CO₂ Capturee-Methanol
Pathway 02 · RNG
Biogas / RNG → Bio-Methanol

Biogas from agricultural and municipal waste enters a Steam Methane Reforming process, producing syngas that feeds directly into a Green Methanol Plant. Waste-to-fuel at commercial scale with bio-methanol offtakes to global shipping markets.

BiogasSteam ReformingSyngasBio-Methanol
Pathway 03 · Landfill
Solid Waste Gasification → Green Methanol

Municipal solid waste undergoes gasification producing syngas that flows into a Green Methanol Plant. Landfill lifespan is extended, methane emissions are mitigated, and the community cost center becomes a revenue center.

GasificationSolid WasteWaste DiversionCarbon Credits
Pathway 04 · Methanol-to-Power
Green Methanol → Clean Power

Green methanol is converted back to hydrogen via small-package reformers and deployed as Power-as-a-Service. ISO tank swap-outs create a fully distributed energy logistics model for off-grid facilities and data centers.

X-to-Power Platform

Localized Energy.
Modular by Design.

Most rural and remote communities are not yet ready for hydrogen — infrastructure is costly, storage is complex, and grid access is unreliable. Load-Point's X-to-Power model bridges this gap by using methanol as the transport medium.

Green methanol is stored and shipped at ambient temperature — a fraction of the cost of hydrogen logistics. When a community or facility builds demand, small-package reformers convert methanol back to hydrogen on-site, eliminating the cold chain entirely.

The result: a Power-as-a-Service model that serves off-grid facilities, data centers, industrial zones, and remote communities — all from a containerized, swappable ISO tank system.

Off-Grid & Remote Power

E-fuel gensets powered by green methanol provide reliable, low-carbon baseload energy for communities and sites beyond grid reach — without large infrastructure investment.

Data Centers & Industrial Zones

High-demand facilities seeking clean, dispatchable power. Methanol-to-power systems deliver energy independent of grid constraints and comply with sustainability mandates.

Dynamic Renewable Integration

Our e-methanol plants are designed for dynamic operation to accommodate variable renewable supply — eliminating curtailment and maximizing asset utilization for power producers.
