Boston Metal, a supplier of steel decarbonization technology, has successfully commissioned its multi-inert anode Molten Oxide Electrolysis (MOE) industrial cell for green steel production.
De-risking Boston Metal’s MOE platform technology, this milestone validates the performance of the inert anode—the essential element of MOE that allows scalable production of pure liquid iron without emitting any CO2—to efficiently produce green steel at commercial scale.
Now operational at the company’s facility in Woburn, Massachusetts, the multi-inert anode industrial cell provides the validation of the scalability of MOE Steel to achieve commercial production. The company will deploy its first demonstration plant in 2026.
MOE Steel is designed to provide a one-step process to convert all iron ore grades to liquid metal, without the need for coke production, iron ore sintering and pelletizing, blast furnace reduction or basic oxygen furnace refinement.
“We are the only company with a direct and scalable approach to more efficient and clean steelmaking, and I can now say that tonnage steel is flowing from our multi-inert anode MOE cell.”
