Helix Carbon's Blast Furnace Pollution Recycling Technology Reduces Iron Production Costs
Helix Carbon's technology uses electrolyzers to convert blast furnace CO2 emissions into carbon monoxide, reducing coke dependency and cutting iron production costs by $14 per ton while lowering carbon emissions. The startup aims to disrupt the $2 trillion iron and steel industry by offering a scalable solution that addresses both environmental and economic challenges.
The steel industry is a big polluter, but Helix Carbon can upcycle pollution from blast furnaces to drive down emissions and improve margins.
