The Missing Link in the Energy Transition

AI isn't facing a compute problem—it's facing an infrastructure problem. Every breakthrough in artificial intelligence, electrification and clean energy depends on critical minerals, yet the real challenge is extracting them sustainably and economically.In this episode, Mohammad Doostmohammadi, Founder & CEO of PH7 Technologies, shares how his company is transforming the recovery of critical minerals through a closed-loop process that dramatically reduces water use, eliminates wastewater and unlocks value from low-grade ores and mine waste. He also discusses the realities of commercialising deep-tech, navigating the mining industry's appetite for innovation, and why building the right team—not just the right technology—is what ultimately determines success.🎧 Tune in for a fresh look at scaling deep-tech ventures where speed matters—but shortcuts don’t.---🌿 Hey Climate Tech enthusiasts! Searching for new podcasts on sustainability? Check out the Leaders on a Mission podcast, where I interview climate tech leaders who are shaking up the industry and bringing us the next big thing in sustainable solutions. Join me for a deep dive into the future of green innovation exploring the highs, lows, and everything in between of pioneering new technologies.Get an exclusive insight into how these leaders started up their journey, and how their cutting edge products will make a real impact. Tune in on…YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@leadersonamissionNet0Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7o41ubdkzChAzD9C53xH82Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/leaders-on-a-mission/id1532211726…to listen to the latest episodes!Timestamps00:00 – AI's infrastructure challenge02:15 – The founding insight06:30 – Unlocking mine waste11:15 – Sustainable meets commercial12:50 – Why copper matters18:05 – Rethinking mineral processing22:45 – Scaling deep-tech30:40 – It's all about team33:30 – Building a global visionUseful links: 👇ph7 Technologies website:  https://ph7technologies.com/ph7 Technologies  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ph7technologies/Mohammad Doostmohammadi  Linked: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohammad-doostmohammadi/Leaders on a Mission website: https://cs-partners.net/podcasts/Simon Leich’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/executive-talent-headhunter-agtech-foodtech-agrifoodtech-agritech/
