The West Australian Profiles Element Zero’s Green Iron Scale-Up
The West Australian has profiled Element Zero’s plans to scale its lower-emissions iron technology following the announcement of up to $26 million in funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency.
The article examines Element Zero’s electrochemical process for producing high-purity iron using renewable electricity and lower-temperature processing. It also discusses the company’s current 10 kg-per-day green iron plant in Malaga and plans to progressively scale production to one tonne and then 10 tonnes per day while testing a range of Australian iron ores, including haematite and magnetite.
The feature also explores Element Zero’s broader technology development, including work on silicon and lithium, plans for larger-scale green iron production in Western Australia, and discussions with potential funders and offtakers in international markets.
