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.
