About

Boston Metal is a startup focused on decarbonizing the metals industry, particularly steel production, through its proprietary molten oxide electrolysis (MOE) technology. This technology uses electricity to directly extract metals from ore in a molten state at high temperatures, offering a cleaner alternative to traditional smelting methods. While initially targeting steel, the company is now prioritizing the production of higher-value critical metals like niobium, tantalum, vanadium, nickel, and chromium, which are essential for various advanced industries including aerospace, electronics, and renewable energy. Boston Metal operates a subsidiary in Brazil for commercial production and has a pilot facility in Woburn, Massachusetts. The company has faced operational challenges and cash flow issues but has recently secured significant funding to support its expansion and technological development.
