An Out-of-This-World Solution for Decarbonizing Steelmaking

Inspired by work on lunar resource extraction, the Helios Cycle creates zero direct emissions and uses 30% less energy than traditional methods of extracting iron — offering transformational potential for the heavy-emitting steel industry.

Australia’s BlueScope Steel signs green iron agreement with Helios

Australia's BlueScope Steel, opens new tab has signed a preliminary agreement with Israel-based Helios Project to trial its green iron, which is produced with clean energy rather than coal, from 2026.

Helios Project and BlueScopeX Sign Memorandum of Understanding

Helios Project, developer of the Helios Cycle™, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with BlueScopeX, a subsidiary of BlueScope Steel, a global steel manufacturer headquartered in Australia.

The Case for Helios Green Iron in Sustainable Steel Production

Helios Green Iron (HGI™) produced using the Helios’ ironmaking technology – the “Helios Cycle™”, stands at the forefront of a transformative era in the iron and steel industry.

World Steel Association empowers innovation

In 2023 Helios joined the World Steel Association as an affiliated member. This marks a significant milestone in our journey to decarbonize the steel industry.

DARPA Selects Helios for LunA-10 Lunar Architecture Study

Helios has been selected as a key participant in the DARPA LunA-10 program, which seeks to transform the Moon into a commercial hub by developing a unified lunar infrastructure.

Green Steel Solutions: Leading the Charge Towards Sustainable Steel Production

The challenges facing the steel industry —declining ore grades, carbon-intensive processes, and economic pressures — are driving a critical shift toward sustainable solutions.

Impact Nation: Introducing Helios

Helios is developing technologies to extract and refine resources in a sustainable way, on earth and beyond. The company achieved a significant breakthrough in producing iron from iron ore.

A space tech company stumbled on a new way to cut emissions on Earth

While steel factories emit around 3 billion tons of CO2 annually, a new way of producing steel eliminates direct CO2 emissions and halts energy use in half.

Space tech start up discovers path to emission-free future for steel industry on earth

Helios has developed a novel iron production method originally designed for extracting oxygen on the moon. This technology could revolutionize the steel industry, making the process more sustainable and cost-effective.

The secret to making green steel on earth found on the moon?

Helios, a prominent green steel company, utilizes a proprietary closed-loop reduction process that recycles its reducing agent, emitting only oxygen. This innovative method cuts the energy required for ironmaking by up to 50% and is effective with low-grade ores containing high impurities.
