Helix Carbon is decarbonizing the iron and steel industry by recycling emitted CO₂ into carbon-neutral input gas directly out of waste streams, no carbon capture required.

The Tough Tech problem we are solving

The steel industry relies on fossil fuels to convert iron ore into steel-ready iron, and there is no replacement for them at facilities operating today. Steelmakers are facing consumer and regulatory pressure to decarbonize but have billions invested in high emissions infrastructure and no solution for decarbonizing it.

About our solution

Helix Carbon’s proprietary electrolysis system converts iron furnace waste gas directly into emissions-free syngas that can replace fossil fuel inputs. Our system is a drop-in solution that enables steelmakers to decarbonize existing plants, relieving regulatory and customer pressures while unlocking access to the currently unsatisfied global demand for green steel.
