What is Helios?
Helios creates cutting-edge metal refining technologies that minimize environmental impact and maximize resource efficiency
Helios began as a pioneering space technology company with the bold mission to extract oxygen from the moon. Faced with a severe and unforgiving lunar environment, our research team was pushed to achieve unprecedented innovation. Our challenge was to enable the separation of oxygen from lunar minerals in extreme environments, where zero emissions are not an option but a necessity.
Our efforts resulted in a breakthrough zero-emission method for metal production, applicable both in space and on Earth.
While steel remains the world’s most important engineering and construction material, the industry faces large challenges: These include declining grades of iron ore–which demand processing larger volumes of material to obtain the same amount of iron–as well as increasing operational costs and environmental impact concerns.
Any plans in the near future?
