Electra will be in New York discussing the role of procurement and policy in advancing first-of-a-kind technologies, and the global impact when we work together. #climateweek
I am looking forward to joining critical discussions with the First Movers Coalition of the World Economic Forum and the Sustainable Procurement Pledge on September 20th in NYC. We'll talk about how companies can integrate innovations into their value chains and the potential impacts on existing policies. I'm also sticking around for New York Climate Week, where I hope to connect with other climate innovators. #ClimateWeek #NYC

“As society mobilizes against the pressing climate crisis we face today, we find ourselves seeking transformative solutions to tackle environmental challenges. Much as electrochemistry modernized aluminum production, science holds the key to revolutionizing steel and iron manufacturing.” Great read from Dan Steingart on why electrochemical engineers are the key to green steel production. Clean iron is a critical part of green steel production and at Electra, we are working to scale our solution to meet the commercial needs of the industry. #greensteel #cleaniron
The future of steel is electrochemical! For IEEE Spectrum, I wrote about how the steel and iron industry is having an “electrochemical moment” and how the next generation of electrochemical engineers can shape a cleaner, more sustainable industry. Battery engineers can also be metallurgists. Let's do this. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ecdQpbz9

Electra is expanding its executive team with two new industry leaders: James Rutland as Chief Financial Officer and Steve MacManus as Vice President of Engineering. James joins us with more than 20 years of international finance and commercial experience. His background includes leadership roles at startups, like Northvolt, a lithium-ion battery producer, and established firms like Skanska, a construction giant. Most recently, as North America CFO at Northvolt, James worked to secure private and public funding to project-finance a $5 Billion lithium-ion battery production plant. James will play a crucial role in supporting Electra’s growth, leveraging his financial expertise across several sectors to facilitate the establishment of new pure iron production facilities. Steve brings decades of experience in manufacturing engineering with a proven track record at Fortune 500 companies like Tesla and Apple. At Tesla, Steve was responsible for the product development cycle for Tesla’s Models S, X, Y and 3, from design to launch. Steve’s proven track record in launching new products with complex engineering will be vital to scaling Electra’s novel technology from pilot to commercial scale. By bringing on James and Steve, Electra is cementing its position at the forefront of Clean Iron production. Their combined experience and leadership will accelerate Electra's path to commercial adoption.
