## The Challenge
Every year, the world produces 1.9 billion metric tonnes of steel predominantly by melting high-grade ores with coal and other minerals in furnaces operating at 1,600 degrees Celsius, emitting 10% of global carbon dioxide emissions.
By decarbonizing ironmaking, which accounts for 90% of steel’s emissions, we’re forging a cleaner and greener future for emission free steel.
## Our Solution
A low-temperature, electrochemical-hydrometallurgical process that can utilize a variety of ores and be powered by intermittent renewable energy.
## Our Technology
Our low-temperature process removes critical impurities from a variety of ores to produce high purity, gangue-free iron metal that can be charged directly into electric arc furnaces (EAF).

## Electra Clean Iron
 We use a low-temperature hydrometallurgical and electrochemical process to electrify the refinement of a variety of iron ores to clean iron by leveraging proven industrial-scale equipment and processes. Subsequently, our clean iron with near zero impurities is converted to steel using electricity-powered arc furnaces (EAFs) used today to produce 70% of US steel, and 30% of steel globally. ! Iron ore is known to be slow to dissolve and hard to keep in solution while removing impurities. Our electrochemical process not only accelerates the dissolution of iron ore and keeps iron in solution, but also removes impurities, leaving a pure, clean iron solution for electroplating. This impurity removal process allows Electra to utilize a variety of ores (including ores with less than 55% iron content), millions of tonnes of which have already been mined. With a dwindling supply of naturally occurring high grade ores, efficiently utilizing a wider range of ores is critical to building a sustainable steel industry.  !
### Widest Range of Iron Ores
Our patented technology can transform a variety of grades of iron ore into pure iron and minerals for manufacturers. This gives new life to lower-grade ore that would otherwise go to waste while extending the life of mines and minimizing further disruption to the land.

### Renewable Energy
We use the lowest-cost, intermittent renewable electricity to power the bulk of our process, meaning we can start and stop production on demand. This, alongside low-temperature processing significantly decreases our capital and operational costs.

### High Value-in-Use Iron
Our clean iron without impurities will potentially provide the highest economic value in use for EAF steelmakers. As a high-quality ore-based metal, Electra’s clean iron also allows EAFs to recycle a broader range of scrap in their steel production processes, paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable and circular steel industry.
#### High Value-in-Use Iron
### Premium EAF Steel
Our clean, high-purity iron allows EAF steelmakers to replace higher impurity pig iron and other high-emission ore-based iron feedstocks; leading to premium and advanced grades of steel with the lowest embodied emissions. Electra’s clean iron offers a clear “line of sight” from steel plants to automakers to consumers who are increasingly demanding greener low or zero carbon emission products.
