Element Zero is working towards zero-carbon iron and steel and other future-facing metal production.
About us
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.

Green iron and the future of iron ore – what will our biggest export commodity look like in a decade? Our CEO Michael Masterman, alongside Rowan Mackay from Rio Tinto and Robert Evans from BlueScope, led a discussion on this critical Australian commodity, sharing their forecasts, insights and visions, facilitated by Ben Potter from The Australian Financial Review at the AFR Mining Summit 2024 in Perth on Wednesday. The iron and steel industry contributes nearly 30% of worldwide industrial emissions, making it a crucial target for decarbonisation efforts. Australia is committed to addressing this industry, given its role as the source of over 50% of the world's iron ore exports. Thank you to all the AFR team for a great event! #greeniron #ironore #AFRMiningSummit #financialreview #elementzero Photo: Ross Swanborough

Element Zero's CEO Michael Masterman presented at last week's Climate Action Week Sydney, discussing the challenges of decarbonising the iron and steel industry, one of the world's most difficult-to-abate industries, and the significance Element Zero's novel technology could play in this industry's decarbonisation.
How can we decarbonise the steel industry? And what role can Australia play in support? The Decarbonising Steel event on Wednesday at Greenhouse hosted by World Wildlife Fund and Materials & Embodied Carbon Leaders’ Alliance, and moderated by Monica Richter presented an amazing panel to discuss the challenges and opportunities to support decarbonisation of the steel industry. Presenters and panel included: - James Bowen, ReMap Research - Elizabeth Thurbon, UNSW - Ed Schmidt / Greeneon, Greenhouse - Tim Buckley / Climate Energy Finance - Azlan Ho / Green Steel of WA - James Choi / J2 Advisory - Richard Andrews / Australian Japan Business Chamber of Commerce - Michael Masterman / Element Zero Some key takeaways from our host Monica Richter: - Australia is not adjusting to the new global reality in North East Asia with China a clear winner of the decarbonisation race already . - It’s not too late for Australia to position itself in the box seat – as a provider of green molecules and green iron - Investors are looking for long term certainty of decision making and direction and there is a lack of bipartisan support which sends uncertain signals - There is a need for government industry co investment given the sums we are discussing (multiple billions) - Onshoring iron production will help with the majority of emissions - The importance of negotiating bilateral agreements apportioning the carbon accounting will be fundamental - If Australia hosts the COP31 with the Pacific, a regional/bilateral green steel value chain agreement would be a good outcome to pursue #CAWSYD #decarbonisation #climateaction #steel

Thank you Patrick Gibbons for his reference to Element Zero.
The political and policy focus on critical minerals has been caught out by market realities as prices fall. This piece I had published in The Australian Financial Review argues the warning signs have been there for a while – a plateauing energy transition & constrained uptake of EVs in North America. But in all this, Australia should not forget those resources that have underpinned the nation’s economic development – iron ore, gold, coal, copper, gas and bauxite. Yet investment in these resources is moving offshore because it is too hard here. Approval time lines, energy, IR and taxation are challenging. If Australia wants to ensure the one industry in which it is a global leader– mining – remains capable of helping the country weather economic storms, it needs to focus on restoring a competitive advantage in the commodities that have and will continue to matter. That means addressing approval processes, energy costs (including small modular reactors for mines and mineral processing), not being shy about uranium, gas and coal, building on our existing mineral processing industries (alumina, aluminium, copper etc) and encouraging new green steel technologies like Element Zero. #criticalminerals #australianmining #greensteel #energytransition #ironore #copper #gold #uranium #aluminium #LNG #coal.
