The Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) has achieved North American rare earth independence with its NdPr facility. Using advanced solvent extraction, the facility achieves 99.9% purity for high-strength magnets.
Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) recalibrates the Leduc Formation. Selective adsorption membranes extract lithium in hours, while closed-loop protocols maintain reservoir pressure through reinjection.
As AI workloads exceed 100kW per rack, Liquid-to-Liquid (L2L) heat exchange becomes the standard. Circulating dielectric fluids to chip-level cold plates captures 98% of thermal waste for municipal heating.
