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.
