Rolling hills scenery

BHP Ventures is the in-house venture capital arm of BHP.

We scour the globe to find and foster emerging, technologies with game-changing potential to help make BHP’s global operations more safe, productive and sustainable

Through our investments, we aim to help accelerate the development of technology to benefit not just our business and value chain, but that of our broader industry.

Collaboration is key to solving some of the world’s greatest energy and decarbonisation challenges, and we are committed to working with companies that share our passion for impact.

BHP Ventures has invested in over 20 emerging companies, and together:

  • We have unlocked access to insights into how big data and artificial intelligence could be used to enhance mineral exploration. 
  • We’re testing early-stage technologies with breakthrough potential for lower carbon emission steelmaking, gaining further insights from our in-house expertise and value chain partnerships. 
  • We’re discovering new ways to extract more vital minerals from the resources we mine today.
  • We’re exploring carbon emissions removal technologies using microbes and direct air capture. 
  • We’re pursuing novel options for water filtration, renewable energy generation and storage, and blockchain for ethical sourcing.
