We turn CO2 into high value, carbon negative minerals  

How we work 

Using Biogenic CO2

Forge is utilising advanced mineralisation techniques to efficiently and permanently store carbon dioxide from biogenic emissions as mineral solids.

Industrial Partners 

We tailor our solution to provide seamless integration into existing operations for a wide range of industries.  Our focus is on maximum efficiency to minimise footprint and disruption to existing processes.

High Quality Minerals 

We optimise our process for high purity, high value products, meaning that we don't just absorb CO2 in our process, but also displace our customers' CO2.  Our low carbon minerals are sold into mature markets such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals and industrial materials.      

Our technology 

CarbonStorage

Scalable Solution  

Our system builds on proven reactor technology but enhances it with innovations to transform CO2 into high-purity, carbon-negative minerals. Our unique system is designed for rapid scalability, ensuring that industries can decarbonize efficiently while we secure valuable intellectual property.

Carbon Storage Process Equipment

Forge is focused on adaptation of commercially available chemical process Equipment to accelerate its path to scalability. This state-of-the-art equipment benefits from small footprint and adaptibility for integration with existing industrial processes. With our Carbon Sequestration Equipment, companies can effectively store large quantities of carbon dioxide and help mitigate the impact of greenhouse gas emissions.

Utilisation via valuable by-products

Forge is focused on the production of both hi-purity and utilitarian products from its CO2 utilisation and storage techniques in order to gain exposure to mature markets for offtake of our materials. There is clear demand for our potential products from construction to manufacturing to pharmaceuticals. 

Forge News 

We’ve closed our £1m Round

We’re excited to share that Forge Minerals has closed a £1 million funding round co-led by Sustainable Ventures and The Conduit Impact Fund, with support from Old College Capital, One Planet Capital, Kappika Ventures, and Scottish Enterprise. We’re hugely grateful to this group for backing our approach and helping us take the next step.

Forge is focused on turning waste CO₂ into high-purity mineral products that can directly replace today’s carbon-intensive materials — starting with magnesium carbonate. Our goal isn’t to create niche alternatives, but to make minerals industry already needs, with a much lower carbon footprint.

This funding gives us the runway to deepen our technical work, validate products with customers, and prepare for initial commercial deployment. There’s a lot to do — and we’re excited to get on with it.

 

Forge opens first lab 

Alongside the funding round, we’ve hit another major milestone: we’ve opened our first laboratory at the Edinburgh Innovation Hub.

The lab gives us a dedicated space to run process development and scale-up trials as we move from early validation toward real-world deployment. It’s where the hands-on work happens — testing, refining, and proving that our approach can scale.

We’ll be focusing initially on magnesium carbonate, supplying applications where purity and consistency really matter. The new facility also lets us work more closely with partners and continue our collaboration with the University of Edinburgh.

Opening this lab is a big step forward for Forge — and an important foundation as we work toward making low-carbon minerals a practical reality.

Forge Minerals makes low carbon minerals. Our patent-pending process produces negative-carbon magnesium carbonates which can directly replace high-emission materials used in many industrial applications like flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, and supplements. In doing so, we’re replacing some of the most carbon-intensive minerals in the world — with no green premium.

Forge is funded by a number of experienced venture capital funds to optimise and scale up our system. We’re moving from lab trials to pilot and need an experienced engineer to lead this process and manage the design and integration of test rigs, oversee delivery, reduce technical risk, and ensure the system is safe, commercially scalable, and efficient.

This is a strategic and hands-on role: we’re looking for someone senior enough to help us avoid costly mistakes and guide our transition from lab to pilot. You’ll work directly with the founding team and scientific partners to shape a robust, commercial-ready system.

The first major deliverable will be working with the team on our Technology Development Plan — a clear, grounded roadmap covering stage-gates, partner roles, technical risks, budgets, and timelines from pilot through to commercial deployment.

We’re looking for someone with extensive technical experience — ideally 3+ years in process, mechanical, or chemical engineering, with proven design-build-test work on high-pressure or thermal systems. Experience in pilot plant development, mineral/chemical processing, or early-stage technology environments is highly desirable.

We have strong investor backing and a clear commercial pathway. For the right person, this is an opportunity to shape the company’s core technology and long-term impact.

We're open to part-time or full-time and would consider share options for candidates looking to grow with the business. Salary in the range of £55,000 - £80,000 depending upon experience. Please ask for a full job spec, if you are interested.
