The latest history means that Boston’s metal is just a step closer to the technology. The process of the company uses electricity to make steel, and depending on the source of the electrical, it may clean the production of one of the most materials on the planet. The world produces about 2 billion tons of steel metric every year, calculate more than 3 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide in the process. While there are still many milestone before reaching the scale required to make teeth in the steel industry, the latest run shows that the company can scale to the process. The Boston metal starts the industrial reactor for steel steel in January, and after several weeks, the company relaxed with the molten metal here.) The work of this reactor has been done. I have to visit facilities in Woburn, Massachusetts, in 2022, while the construction is almost done. In many years ago, the company has been working on tests to go out of another metal before retrofitting for steel production. My metal boston is very different from the conventional steel plant. The shirt is usually involved in the blade furnace, which uses coal materials called Coke to drive the reaction required for iron (steel ingredients in steel). Carbon in the coke combines with oxygen that drawn from iron seeds, released as carbon dioxide. However, the metal boston use the electricity in the process of a monetic oxida (Moe). Iron iron will loaded into reactor, mixed with other materials, then electricity can be launched, as a warming in approximately 1,600 ° F) and driving a reaction to make iron. That iron then can be steel. Apply with climate, this process issues oxygen than carbon dioxide (unpleasant greenhouse gas). If it can be updated like a solar or nuclear power used as an electric source, then this approach may break the clinic influence of steel production. Moe developed in mit, and the Boston metal was founded in 2013 to commercial technology. Therefore, the company has worked from a lab scale, with the reactor of approximately cup of coffee, larger that can produce metal at a time. That is important for the industry working on a military scale of creatures per year.
