We are energy specialists that help clients take a strategic approach to their energy requirements in a way that vendors do not. We are indifferent to technologies, existing relationships, markets, or solutions. Energy services have become siloed and the failure to coordinate supply and demand services creates significant risks and is difficult to manage. We work across different teams to help design solutions for the entire energy portfolio that align to an organization’s goals, targets and spend. This unique approach allows us to design solutions that span across energy disciplines, from supply and demand to renewables and maintenance. We use data analysis to produce valuable insights and expose unaddressed risk you may have overlooked.

Each year the mining industry discards over 200 billion tons of waste (tailings) and produces more than 7% of the world’s carbon emissions. Phoenix Tailings is on a mission to be the world’s first clean mining and metals production company. By eliminating this harmful waste from the environment, we can sustainably create valuable new materials. We started with the humble beginnings of a few friends in a backyard, thinking of how they can fix this broken system of metals production. Now, Phoenix Tailings has become one of the top sustainability startups in the world. A Techstars Boston 2020 company with funding from the US Department of Energy and National Science Foundation, Phoenix has demonstrated early success in our clean mining mission. We still have a long way to go to achieve this mission. However, it’s our belief that together, the right people can overcome any obstacle and change the world.
