Where chemistry
becomes capacity.

Solcoa’s facilities bring research, engineering and manufacturing together to produce rare earth metals in America.

From active production today to the next generation of industrial capacity.

OPERATIONAL

Alameda, CA is now fully operational.

Built to produce.

Solcoa is building an integrated production system designed to turn rare earth resources into high-purity metals efficiently and at scale.

Each facility advances a different part of that system, from process development and validation to repeatable commercial production.

Together, they create a direct path from new chemistry to dependable domestic supply.

Active Production

TODAY
10 tonnes
Current annual NdPr production capacity.
FROM MID-2027
500 tonnes
Planned annual capacity at Solcoa Alameda from mid-2027

Solcoa One is where
Solcoa’s chemistry became a working production system.

Our Process

The facility integrates the equipment, controls and operating knowledge required to transform rare earth resources into finished NdPr metal.

Producing 10 tonnes per year, Solcoa Alameda proves that the process can move beyond individual experiments and operate as a reliable manufacturing platform.

Our Process

The facility will bring research, engineering and manufacturing together at significantly greater scale, translating what Solcoa has already proven into a repeatable industrial operation.

Designed as the foundation for future facilities, Alameda will establish the systems, equipment and operating model required to grow domestic rare earth production.

From rare earth resource
to finished metal. Solcoa’s facilities are designed around a direct, integrated production route.

  1. ( 01 )

    Feedstock preparation

    Rare earth resources are prepared for controlled processing.

  2. ( 02 )

    Chemical conversion

    Solcoa’s novel chemistry isolates and converts the target rare earth material through a faster, cleaner route.

  3. ( 03 )

    Refining

    The material is progressively purified to meet the requirements of finished metal production.

  4. ( 04 )

    Metal production

    Purified material is transformed into high-purity NdPr metal.

  5. ( 05 )

    Testing and verification

    Finished material is evaluated against Solcoa’s quality and performance requirements.

Designed for repeatability.
Solcoa is building more than individual facilities.

The equipment, controls and operational knowledge developed through Solcoa One and Alameda create a repeatable model for future rare earth production.

A system that can be deployed, improved and
scaled as demand grows.

  • Faster

    A shorter route from resource to finished metal.

  • Cleaner

    A process designed to reduce the waste and emissions associated with conventional production.

  • More economical

    Fewer stages and an integrated operating model designed to lower production costs.
