The clean energy transition has a hidden cost: it’s powered by materials that are anything but clean. The rapid growth of technologies like hydrogen and electric vehicles is driving unprecedented demand for scarce, high-cost metals — resources that are limited in supply, often tied to fragile supply chains, and in some cases associated with severe environmental and human rights challenges.

Milvus is tackling this challenge at the source. The company has developed a breakthrough materials platform that converts abundant, low-cost metallic salts, such as those derived from copper or nickel, into high-performance alloys that can replace scarce and expensive metals in critical applications. By rethinking how advanced materials are created, Milvus is expanding what’s possible in material performance while reducing dependency on critical metals. This innovation opens new pathways for more resilient and sustainable supply chains across clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and next-generation electronics.
