Our technology

Rethinking copper.
From the inside out.

Aeramine is a UK advanced materials company developing scalable production of high-purity, low oxygen copper from recycled feedstock.

Our focus is simple: conductivity, sustainability and a more resilient supply of a critical material.

Technology progression

From first principles.
Towards industrial scale.

Each stage reduces technical risk and moves Aeramine closer to repeatable, commercially relevant production.

  1. Company established

    Aeramine begins.

    Aeramine Limited was formed in Bedford to develop a vacuum metallurgy process that produces copper of high purity with lower carbon emissions.

  2. Innovate UK programme

    Project Pure CuRE.

    Aeramine led a collaboration with PSI and MTC spanning copper consolidation, vacuum refinement, atomisation, oxygen reduction and additive manufacturing.

  3. Scaling and validation

    From process to material.

    The batch refining system and controls advanced while material moved into further characterisation and application testing.

  4. APC Mobilise

    Automotive pathway.

    Selected for APC Mobilise, the government-supported Advanced Propulsion Centre UK programme, to advance ultra-high-purity copper from recycled feedstock for electrified automotive applications.
