Biocarst is a deep-tech initiative focused on sustainable solutions for ultramafic tailings left after mining of asbestos — one of the largest unresolved environmental legacies of mining in Southeast Europe and beyond.

Our mission is to transform hazardous tailings from a long-term environmental liability into a stable, valuable, and climate-positive resource.

Partner With Biocarst

Biocarst is seeking industrial, research, and investment partners to scale up two complementary technologies for ultramafic tailings management.

Magnesium Recovery

We have developed a process for recovery of magnesium chloride hexahydrate from ultramafic tailings, transforming mining waste into valuable resource.

Biological Tailings Remediation

Our biotechnology platform uses microalgae and cyanobacteria to stabilize tailings through mineral carbonation, permanently capturing CO₂ while reducing dust and asbestos fiber emissions.

We are looking for partners for project development, scale-up, commercialization, and site deployment.

Our Vision

Biocarst combines biotechnology, geomicrobiology, and mineral processing to create scalable solutions for mine waste remediation, carbon sequestration, and resource recovery.

Our vision is simple:

Transform tailings from an environmental burden into a platform for carbon storage, material recovery, and landscape restoration.
