Right there in the article.
Joining other efforts to decarbonize the steel-production process such as those using hydrogen to refine iron ore, Boston Metal has pioneered a process known as molten oxide electrolysis (MOE).
This method of producing the metal involves combining iron ore with an electrolyte in a reactor and then using electricity instead of coke to heat the mix to about 1,600 °C (2,900 °F). Doing so causes electrons to split the bonds in the iron ore to purify it while outputting only oxygen. Not a single molecule of carbon dioxide is released during the process.
So Russia is going to invade Latvia next?
