Minviro

Minviro is a London-based science-driven consultancy and software company specialising in Life Cycle Assessment for the critical raw materials, mining, battery, and energy transition sectors. Founded in 2019 by Dr. Robert Pell from his PhD research at the University of Exeter's Camborne School of Mines, Minviro emerged from applying LCA to rare earth element mining projects. The team comprises scientists, geologists, and engineers with mining and materials experience.

Minviro has built traction with major industry players including Tesla, Rio Tinto, Stellantis, Freeport-McMoRan, and Verkor. The company claims to have mapped 75% of global battery material supply chains using its LCA models and is included in Verdantix's Smart Innovators: LCA Software 2025 report. Minviro is both a consultancy and a software provider — its dual offering, combining scientific services with proprietary tooling, distinguishes it from pure-play software vendors.
