Electra raises $85M to advance Low-Temperature Iron process; electrochemical refining at 60?C

Green Car Congress

By comparison, 69% of steel today is made at approximately 1,600 degrees Celsius (2,912 degrees Fahrenheit) using coal, emitting about two tons of carbon dioxide for every ton of steel produced. Electra’s iron is the fulcrum to decarbonize steelmaking and to de-risk the iron ore challenge.

million in federal funding for cost-shared projects that will develop technologies that utilize CO 2 from coal-fired power plants to produce useful products. Research has shown that CO 2 can be converted to a variety of commodities, but because of the low energy state of CO 2 , the production costs would be prohibitive in many cases.

ARPA-E Soliciting Second Round of Proposals; $100 Million for Advanced Energy Research Projects, with Focus on CO2-to-Liquid Fuels, Plug-in Batteries and Carbon Capture

Green Car Congress

ARPA-E is seeking new ways to make liquid transportation fuels—without using petroleum or biomass—by using microorganisms to harness chemical or electrical energy to convert carbon dioxide into liquid fuels. Coal-fired power plants currently generate approximately 50% of the electricity in the United States.
