Helix Carbon has developed a process to upcycle blast furnace pollution from the steel industry, turning emissions into a cost-reducing input for iron production. The approach simultaneously cuts environmental impact and improves profit margins for steelmakers.
Background
The steel industry accounts for roughly 7-9% of global CO2 emissions, making decarbonization a major challenge. Technologies that reduce emissions while improving economics are gaining investor attention at events like TechCrunch Disrupt.
