SMH: Element Zero’s $3 Billion Green Iron Plan
The Sydney Morning Herald profiled Element Zero co-founders Michael Masterman and Bart Kolodziejczyk and their plans to scale the company’s electrochemical technology for low-emissions iron production.
The feature explores Element Zero’s process for converting iron ore into high-purity iron using an alkaline solution and renewable electricity, providing an alternative to conventional ironmaking processes that rely on carbon-intensive fuels. It also discusses the potential for the technology to process a broad range of iron ores while reducing emissions from one of the world’s most carbon-intensive industries.
At the time of the article in April 2024, Element Zero was operating its pilot technology in Perth and progressing plans for larger-scale green iron production in Western Australia, including a proposed development in the Pilbara.
