Helix
On-site CO₂ utilization for iron and steel industries
Helix Carbon is decarbonizing the iron and steel industry by transforming emitted CO₂ into carbon-neutral syngas directly out of iron furnace waste streams, all without expensive carbon capture technology. By creating feedstocks that are chemically identical to those created by fossil fuels, Helix Carbon can uniquely build drop-in electrolyzers that integrate with existing facilities, enabling green steel production in an industry with limited decarbonization options.
