With 20-million tonnes of bulk nitrate-based explosives being used every year in the mining industry, contributing significantly to greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions, explosives and detonation specialist BME is driving the development and market expansion of Hypex Bio’s hydrogen peroxide emulsion (HPE) technology.
BME’s parent company Omnia entered into a strategic partnership with Scandinavia-based Hypex Bio in 2023, securing Omnia’s exclusive distribution rights of the technology in Canada and other major global mining markets.
