March 14, 2025 (press release) –

(GlobeNewswire) - Boston Metal, a leader in steel decarbonization technology, successfully commissioned its multi-inert anode Molten Oxide Electrolysis (MOE) industrial cell for green steel production. De-risking Boston Metals MOE platform technology, this crucial milestone validates the performance of the inert anodethe essential element of MOE that allows scalable production of pure liquid iron without emitting any CO2to efficiently produce green steel at commercial scale.

Now operational at the companys 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.

Boston Metal is redefining steelmaking with a direct and cost-competitive modular technology that yields zero-emission steel. MOE Steel provides a one-step process to convert all iron ore grades to high-quality liquid metalan advantage that protects against the scarcity and price volatility of premium ores. Eliminating the many industrial processes associated with steelmaking at traditional steel mills, MOE does not require coke production, iron ore sintering and pelletizing, blast furnace reduction or basic oxygen furnace refinement.

The company will license its highly customizable steel manufacturing solutionthat can scale from thousands to millions of tons of outputto a global customer base of steel manufacturers to in turn produce profitable green steel while increasing economic opportunities across the steel value chain.

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, said Tadeu Carneiro , CEO of Boston Metal. With this milestone, we are taking a major step forward in making green steel a reality and were doing it right here in the U.S. , demonstrating the critical innovation that can enhance domestic manufacturing.

This milestone further showcases the transformative breadth and depth of Boston Metals MOE platform technology. Last March, Boston Metal announced the inauguration of Boston Metal do Brasil, where MOE is recovering critical metals from mining waste, generating profits from a liability. Boston Metal is rapidly expanding its operations in Brazil , and the early revenue streams from its critical metals business will propel its MOE Steel technology forward. In addition, Boston Metal is mobilizing plans to establish its chromium metal facilitya project that is crucial to onshoring advanced manufacturing of this high-priority metal to U.S. soil and securing the supply chain for MOE Steel.
