Contribute to the social realization of fusion energy through stably securing of beryllium
About MiRESSO
MiRESSO Co.Ltd. is a fusion startup certified by the National Institute of Quantum Science and Technology (QST) in Japan.
Fusion power generation, which is being developed around the world, requires large amounts of beryllium (Be) as a neutron multiplier. However, beryllium is expected to become a bottleneck to the widespread use of fusion power generation because of its overwhelming shortage at current production levels and its high price.
The low-temperature refining technology invented by Masaru Nakamichi and his colleagues at MiRESSO Co.Ltd. has made it possible to refine mineral resources at a revolutionary low cost and energy saving, instead of the expensive high-temperature processing that was previously required. Our vision is to contribute to the social realization of fusion energy near future by providing a stable and low-cost supply of beryllium through this technology.
Why beryllium is essential for fusion?
This requires beryllium (neutron multiplier), which doubles the number of neutrons to two.
Business Overview
Beryllium production and sales business
Beryllium is hard, heat-resistant, and lightweight material, and is currently used in aerospace, medical mirror materials, and electronic devices in addition to fusion.
We expect demand for beryllium to increase in the market for existing applications, because our technology will allow us to offer beryllium at a significantly lower cost than current market prices.
Technology Platform Business
We plan to use our low-temperature refining technology to jointly develop refining for materials other than beryllium and recycling of mineral resources , to consulting, and to license our technologies.
Our technology can be used for materials that require high temperature heat treatment, such as rare earth, lithium, and ceramics.
We also accept requests for feasibility verification, so please feel free to contact us.
Low-temperature refining technology
Our technology makes it possible to dissolve at a low temperature of 300℃ and under normal pressure by using an alkaline reagents and microwave heating.
Below is a comparison of our low-temperature refining technology and conventional technology regarding CAPEX, OPEX, and CO2 emissions for lithium ore refining.
