The Importance of Innovation at PASEK

Pasek has integrated innovation into its corporate strategy based on four key pillars:

Over the last 10 years, PM has been working on the development of projects aimed at improving processes, products, and by-products derived from the Dunite mine, which has led us to achieve the following milestones.

Our Dunite operation in Cabo Ortegal not only supplies diverse industries but also holds significant potential for CO₂ reduction. Thanks to its high magnesium content, Dunite naturally reacts with atmospheric CO₂, enabling its capture and storage in the form of magnesium carbonate.


To enhance this effect, we are involved in R&D projects such as the Olivine Project in Greece and C-Sink in Europe, which aim to optimize both Dunite’s carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) capacity and its use in soil improvement. In addition, we are driving the electrification of our mine with solar energy, further reducing our carbon footprint.
