Grow
We partner with local communities to plant hyperaccumulator species on mineral-rich land. These specialized plants naturally draw metals from the soil as they grow.

Carbon-negative energy transition metals
Transurfers is powering the EV and AI revolutions with the world's first carbon-negative cobalt and nickel, sourced through community-led phytomining of native plants in East Africa.

Harvest + Process
At peak concentration, the plants are harvested. The biomass is then processed into a high-purity "bio-ore".
03
Renew + Empower
We transform the leftover biomass into biochar, permanently locking carbon away while enriching the soil. The cycle renews the land for future cultivation, while revenue directly funds community projects.
By cultivating only native hyperaccumulator flora, we regenerate soil while preserving the delicate balance of local biodiversity.
TRANSURFERS FOUNDATION: Restoring Land. Empowering Communities. Securing the Future.
F
Transurfers Foundation works to ensure that environmental restoration and mine closure deliver lasting benefits for people, ecosystems, and future generations.

We support communities and institutions to navigate mine closure, environmental restoration, and the management of environmental revenues such as closure funds and nature-based finance. Our work bridges environmental science, community empowerment, and policy development to ensure that restoration is not only technically successful but socially just and sustainable.
Our areas of work include:
- Sustainable Mine Closure: Advancing standards and frameworks that ensure responsible closure planning, adequate funding, and long-term environmental safety.
- Community Stewardship & Capacity Building: Training and support to enable communities to participate meaningfully in land restoration and post-closure decision-making.
- Environmental Revenue Governance: Tools and guidance for managing funds derived from carbon credits, closure provisions, and other environmental finance mechanisms.
- Research & Pilot Projects: Demonstration initiatives exploring innovative approaches such as phytoremediation, nature-based restoration, and sustainable land use.
- Policy & Advocacy: Engagement with governments and institutions to strengthen regulations and standards for responsible environmental stewardship.
