Boston Metal commissions its industrial-scale MOE cell in Woburn, producing tonnage steel

Boston Metal/Molten oxide electrolysis (MOE)

Boston Metal commissioned an industrial-scale molten oxide electrolysis cell in Woburn, Massachusetts, with CEO Tadeu Carneiro reporting that tonnage steel was flowing. The process runs electricity through iron ore dissolved in molten oxide, using inert anodes that survive the heat and release oxygen instead of CO2.

• Boston Metal commissioned a multi-inert anode MOE cell in Woburn; CEO reported tonnage steel production achieved.
• MOE transforms all iron ore grades into high-quality liquid metal via inert anodes; the process releases oxygen, not CO2, making it fully decarbonized.
• Inert anode technology enables scalable production of pure molten iron without carbon emissions, disrupting traditional blast-furnace steelmaking.
