Thank you Lowercarbon Capital and Gold House for including Electra in an evening highlighting innovative and inspiring solutions to climate change. #climatetech

There were a lot of new faces at our annual company picnic. Our team has doubled in size over the last year as we work to scale our clean iron production and is still growing. Interested in joining Electra's next company gathering? Check out our open roles: https://lnkd.in/ezzRkSyg

It’s time to say goodbye to Electra’s 2024 Summer Interns! They designed, built, and tested experiments and equipment that will help Electra disrupt one of the most carbon intensive industries. Thank you for spending your summer with us, owning projects, and supporting our goal to transform iron and steelmaking. If you’re interested in a hands-on #internship experience at Electra, follow us to know when applications open this fall.

Thank you Reuters Events Energy Transition for selecting Electra as this year’s Accelerating Decarbonization winner. This award recognizes our ongoing work to decarbonize the steel industry with clean iron. #GETAwarded

Steel is produced at a massive scale—1.9 billion metric tons annually—for appliances, vehicles, buildings, and more. Its traditional manufacturing dates back over 4,000 years and relies heavily on carbon-based fuels. Alongside our co-founders, Sandeep Nijhawan and Quoc Pham, Electra electrochemical engineer Trevor Braun and scientist Colleen Wallace worked with Christopher Alexander to explain how Electra is developing low-carbon clean iron to decarbonize steelmaking for ECS - The Electrochemical Society: https://lnkd.in/gqARuzsv

Last week, our Co-Founder and CTO Quoc Pham was in Chicago for the ARPA-E conference to kick off the DOE ROSIE program. He participated in a fireside chat on raising capital and scaling for speed with Christina Chang of Lowercarbon Capital and Priyanka B. Bakaya of ARPA-E.   Quoc Pham shared Electra’s journey from a PowerPoint idea four years ago to now operating a pilot plant with over 100 employees, and the challenges and opportunities that come with rapid growth. The most important element – building a great team. If you want to join the team at Electra, check out our current job openings: https://lnkd.in/ezzRkSyg

As we advance our work to decarbonize the ironmaking process,  we’re partnering with ZF Group, the global technology group supplying systems for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and other complex product system industries.  As one of the largest suppliers to the automotive industry worldwide, ZF Group procures over 2.5 million tons of steel each year. In providing clean iron to ZF Group’s steel and cast-iron partners, Electra will help ZF to meet its commitment for carbon neutrality in 2040.

Thank you Amrith Ramkumar and The Wall Street Journal for taking a deep dive on the global race for greener steelmaking, and how Electra is building a more sustainable steel industry. With calls for green steel increasing, we’re rapidly scaling our clean iron technology to meet the growing commercial demand while reducing emissions.
