I helped get Electra off the ground, out of the garage, and built into a well funded, full fledged startup operation working toward technology scale up. Electra's technology enables low cost, flexible, and efficient steelmaking - all while using renewable energy sources. In contrast, today's steelmaking process contributes to 8% of global CO2 emissions and.
