Element Zero

Element Zero has developed a novel approach to cost-effectively and efficiently produce iron, silicon, and other future-facing metals with zero carbon emissions utilising renewable energy. Element Zero has created a mineral processing platform that utilises renewable energy to convert iron ore to iron, silica to silicon and other future facing metal ore into metal. This non-aqueous electrochemical process allows Element Zero to process the full spectrum of ores. The technology has been tested successfully on iron ore, nickel, tin, titanium and silica to silicon metal. The low temperature allows Element Zero to run this process on intermittent renewables such as wind, solar, and hydropower, while using 30-40% less energy than the current dominant coal and gas based processes and produces a superior purity product.
