- Hera Metals has developed a novel, single-step steelmaking process that uses natural gas as a reducing agent, offering significant reductions in cost (up to 30%) and emissions (at least 50%) compared to traditional methods.
- The company's innovative "Flex HRSE" (Flexible Fuel Hydrogen Electric Reduction Smelting) technology allows for the use of various iron ore grades, including lower-quality ores and waste oxides, and is adaptable to hydrogen as a fuel source.
- Hera Metals is also positioned to address supply chain vulnerabilities in the US by producing high-purity iron essential for rare earth magnets, a critical component for defense systems and clean energy technologies.
