Iron is the critical constraint for decarbonizing steelmaking. That’s why we're dedicated to making clean iron in the most responsible and resourceful way. Breakthrough Energy shares how Electra and others are working on pathways to support #netzerosteel.
🏗️ Steel is foundational to our modern world, but it’s also a heavy contributor to climate change — responsible for nearly 10% of global carbon emissions. With demand for steel projected to continue growing, the path to net-zero isn’t simple, but promising solutions exist. Innovations like hydrogen-based reduction, electrochemical processes, and carbon capture are emerging. But these solutions need scale, investment, and supportive policies to compete with today’s low-cost production methods.

With a shared commitment to reducing emissions from iron and steelmaking, Electra and Interfer Edelstahl Handelsgesellschaft mbH signed an MOU to partner on clean iron production for specialty steel. Leading the call for low-carbon materials across Europe, Interfer is also working to reduce its Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, from a base year 2022. Access to Electra’s clean iron will support the sustainability goals of Interfer and its customers. Read more about today’s announcement: https://lnkd.in/gaeeb-Vz

When stakeholders, policymakers, and entrepreneurs work together, we can accelerate and scale solutions for the greatest impact. Thank you SEEC Institute Institute for a day of conversation on advancing existing and emerging solutions to reduce emissions and ensure a low carbon, sustainable, high growth economy. Kellyn Blossom joined Rep. Don Beyer, Kathleen (Katie) McGinty of Johnson Controls, Sasha Stashwick of Antora Energy and Christina Angelides of Elemental Impact to discuss how startups and multinationals are unlocking innovation to meet the challenges of the clean economy at the SEEC Institute's Solutions Summit.

Electra was selected for two U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funded partnerships, further accelerating commercial adoption of our clean iron. We’re collaborating with Idaho National Laboratory and DNV to develop LCA tools and methodologies for benchmarking cradle-to-gate environmental impacts for multiple iron production methods. Thank you U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for your continued support.
📢 The latest Voucher Recipients have confirmed their partnerships with Voucher Providers—worth over $20M! Congratulations to the organizations that have been matched through DOE’s Voucher Program! The U.S. DOE Office of Technology Transitions, in collaboration with the Offices of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED), Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management | U.S. Department of Energy, and Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), previously announced that over 170 companies, tribes, and local governments will receive support to advance commercialization of clean energy technologies in the form of in-kind DOE-funded vouchers. The #VoucherProgram is designed to grant small businesses, local governments, and other non-traditional partners access to the vetted resources and expertise they need to bring their clean energy technologies and projects to the next level. In this recent round, the program offered 7 different Vouchers support across many capabilities ranging from testing facility access to trusted third-party subject matter expertise.
