Discover the history of EFFIBLUE

EFFIBLUE was born from the conviction that a decarbonized industry is possible. Faced with the environmental and economic challenges of rare metals, we have developed Ginestium®, a revolutionary alternative that maintains performance while respecting the planet.

Our ESG commitments

2017

Creation of EFFIBLUE

Founding discovery.
Birth of EFFIBLUE following the development of the Ginestium®, carbon material suitable for Substitute rare metals.
-Hypothesis validated in the lab: controlled deposits, first performance measurements.
-Next : frame industrialization barriers (process, cost, quality).

2018 to 2023

In-depth analyses

Understand, prove, document.

-
Advanced characterizations (Raman, XPS, SEM) and reproducibility of deposits.
-First Use Cases targeted protocol ACV/LCA preliminary.
-Structuring scientific partnerships (public & private teams).
-Next : consolidate the specifications and the industrial test protocol.

2024

Strategic acceleration

Structure & secure.

-non-dilutive financing
-Integration of ecosystems/labels;
-visibility competitions/awards.
-Policy PI (core patent + applications), “no greenwashing” ESG governance.

-Next : prepare a multi-partner pre-industrialization program.

2025

Consortium M.A.G.I.C

Pre-industrialize with third party evidence.

-Launch of a consortium public—private: characterizations, application validations.
-Shared roles & milestones;
-technical reports

Industrial partnerships in progress

-Next : pilot lines, customer pre-series, certification file.

2026

A Series & Structuring

Passage to the ladder.

-Series A
to equip production capacity and quality (QMS, traceability).
-Multi-sector customer qualification;
premieres pre-series.
-Strengthened operations, supply & quality team.

-Next : industrial ramp-up and framework contracts.

2026 and beyond

Commercial launch & sectoral deployment

From pilot to series.

-
Deployment by verticals: electronics/semiconductors, energy & storage, catalysis/processes.
-Objectives : measured substitution, optimized total cost, CO₂ avoided documented.
-Standardization & end of life: integration of sectors, customer requirements & audits.

-Next : multi-annual agreements and international extension.

A word from the founders

Two lives, the same trajectory.

Our duo was born at Locatel, in Paris: employees — one on the business side & partnerships, the other on the technical side & industrialization. Twenty years of projects carried out together have forged a method:
to combine market vision, engineering rigor and execution speed.

With Ginestium®, a discovery born at the crossroads of materials science and industrial needs, we founded EFFIBLUE to meet a clear challenge: to replace rare metals and decarbonize critical uses, with evidence and measurable results.

Our complementary profiles provide leverage: science & industrialization on the one hand; market, partnerships and impact on the other. Same requirement: zero greenwashing, know-how & patents, third-party validations.

EFFIBLUE is this shared energy: transforming scientific intuition into concrete solutions, useful to industry and the planet.
