From Resources
to Resilience
Advancing sustainable Titanium and Beryllium value chains for Europe's green transition through low-carbon technologies, digital innovation, and strategic partnerships with Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
Building Europe's strategic
raw materials independence
TiBeRIUM addresses the EU's critical dependency on imported Titanium and Beryllium by pioneering sustainable extraction and processing technologies in partnership with resource-rich nations.
Strategic Materials
Securing supply of Titanium and Beryllium, two metals essential for aerospace, electronics, and energy technologies.
Sustainable Production
Hydrogen-based reduction and electrolytic processes that eliminate CO₂ emissions from metal production.
Digital Innovation
Digital twins, AI-driven process optimization, and satellite-based environmental monitoring across the value chain.
Strategic Partnerships
Strengthening EU cooperation with Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan for diversified and resilient supply chains.
Critical metals powering
Europe's future industries
Titanium's lightweight strength and corrosion resistance make it indispensable for aerospace, medical implants, and clean energy infrastructure. Beryllium's unique thermal and electrical properties are critical for electronics, defence systems, and nuclear applications.
Both metals are on the EU Critical Raw Materials list, yet Europe produces neither domestically. TiBeRIUM changes this by establishing secure, low-carbon supply chains aligned with the Critical Raw Materials Act.

Two value chains, one vision:
decarbonized critical metals
Titanium Value Chain
From ilmenite and titanomagnetite ores in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan through hydrogen reduction, solid-state electrolysis, and aluminothermic reduction to produce pure Ti metal and FeTi/CuTi alloys.
Beryllium Value Chain
Innovative mineral processing of complex Karadzhal ore through selective flotation and advanced separation, refined at ULBA plant to produce Be metal, Cu-Be and Al-Be master alloys.
Digital Twin & AI
Predictive mine-to-plant framework with digital twins, geometallurgical modelling, and real-time process optimization.
Circular Economy
Valorisation of process by-products and slag into low-CO₂ building materials, achieving zero-waste production.
