For over a century, aluminum production has been a dirty secret—a process that spews 1.1 tons of CO2 for every ton of metal produced. Enter Elysis, a joint venture with a $43M war chest and a mission to completely eliminate those emissions, replacing them with pure oxygen.

"They aren't just optimizing an old process; they are rewriting the chemistry of the industrial age."

The technology itself is the holy grail of metallurgy. By replacing carbon anodes with inert materials, Elysis eliminates direct greenhouse gas emissions and produces oxygen as a byproduct. This isn't theoretical; it's being implemented in industrial-scale cells. The company's focus on 'industrialization' under Director Benoit Feve suggests they are moving from lab experiments to mass production.

• Proprietary inert anode technology eliminates CO2 emissions entirely.
• Produces oxygen as a byproduct, creating a net-positive environmental impact.
• Strategic backing from Apple ensures immediate commercial viability.
• Focus on licensing the tech to global smelters rather than just operating their own.
