For over 150 years, Missouri University of Science and Technology has been one of the nation’s leaders in the field of mineral recovery. Our expertise related to critical minerals — defined by the Energy Act of 2020 as non-fuel minerals vital to the nation’s economic or national security — is unmatched, and we are now working to

|
|
address the country's supply chain issues for these resources. Our work also extends to cutting-edge processing and applications for critical minerals that will fuel new energy technologies and semi-conductor needs.
|
|
|
As a testament to our efforts, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration named Missouri S&T one of the country's 31 Tech Hubs.
This initiative fits perfectly with the rest of Missouri S&T's research portfolio, which focuses on societal impact and fits with our mantra of “investigation with intention.” The articles featured below expand on our work related to critical minerals and highlight some of our other projects focused on making an impact.
Enjoy!

Developing carbon-negative cementitious materials, giving new life to ‘unusable’ waste
|
A Missouri S&T research team was awarded $2.5 million in funding to find new ways to turn waste products into supplementary cementitious materials — plus use those materials to store carbon permanently in concrete.
