Prometheus Advanced Materials & Recycling Ltd.
Developing advanced nano scale catalytic materials, critical metal recovery solutions, and membrane technologies for cleaner industrial processes and emission control.
Key activity pillars
Prometheus Ltd develops advanced nanostructured catalytic materials for environmental and energy applications. The company has designed and scaled up nano-catalyst–based emission control systems that reduce pollutants from heavy-duty vehicles and enable retrofitting solutions compliant with increasingly stringent emission standards. Its innovations include nanocatalysts that significantly lower the use of platinum group metals in automotive catalytic converters by partially substituting them with lower-cost base-metal nanoparticles. Prometheus also develops and scales up electrocatalysts and photocatalysts produced through green synthetic routes, supporting cleaner industrial and energy technologies.
Prometheus Ltd translates its advanced materials research into industrial-scale technologies and processes for emission control, resource recovery, and clean energy systems. Through participation in multiple European innovation projects, the company develops and demonstrates pilot and pre-commercial solutions such as catalytic systems for automotive emission control, large-scale production of electrocatalysts for electrolysis and COâ‚‚-related technologies, and hydrometallurgical processes for recovering valuable metals from end-of-life components. These activities emphasize technology validation, scale-up, and real-world industrial deployment, supporting circular economy solutions and more sustainable manufacturing across the automotive, energy, and materials sectors.
Prometheus Ltd develops sustainable recycling and resource recovery technologies aimed at closing material loops and reducing dependence on primary raw materials. The company focuses on advanced hydrometallurgical processes to recover critical and strategic metals from end-of-life components such as automotive catalysts, batteries, fuel cells, permanent magnets, and electronic assemblies. These processes enable the efficient extraction of platinum group metals, rare earth elements, and other valuable materials with high recovery yields while minimizing environmental impact. By transforming complex waste streams into high-value secondary resources, Prometheus supports circular economy solutions and sustainable supply chains for critical raw materials.
Prometheus Ltd drives advanced catalytic and sustainable technologies with expertise in EU and UK research projects, offering partners opportunities to collaborate on nanocatalysts, membrane technologies, and critical metal recovery from lab to industrial scale.
