Season 2 / Episode 10: Sandeep Nijhawan, Electra
from The Green Steel Challenge
Electrolysis is seen by many as being the end game of the Green Steel Challenge. In this episode, we sit down with Sandeep Nijhawa, CEO of Electra, one of the leaders in the use of “cold” hydrometallurgy to electrolyse iron-bearing ores to pure iron, with oxygen as the main by-product in a very low carbon process. He describes an enthralling journey so far for this Boulder, Colorado-based start-up that is on track to redefine ore-based steelmaking. With Nucor and BHP as investors, it makes for a very interesting story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
