| Project Detail |
Form Energy is leveraging its patent-pending breakthrough to directly produce iron powders from alkaline iron ore slurries in a first-of-a-kind powder-to-powder process. The technology features an electrolyzer designed to allow continuous electrolytic production of high-purity iron with high efficiency from slurries with low solids content. Using domestically available iron ore feedstocks, the process has the potential to produce greenhouse gas emission-free iron at cost parity with today’s carbon-intensive ironmaking methods.
Market Impact Potential:
Form Energy’s approach would electrochemically produce four tonnes of valuable co-products per tonne of iron produced that could be sold as commodity chemicals, recycled to upgrade iron ore feedstocks, or even used to remove carbon dioxide from the air or ocean water. Existing industrial facilities could be retrofitted to Form’s facilities, accelerating time to market. |
