Samuel Engineering and Electra team members meet in Denver to review 3D design models for sustainable steel development.
Samuel Engineering continues to advance sustainable industrial transformation, combining deep technical expertise with integrated engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, and management (EPFC) capabilities to deliver projects that push the boundaries of clean energy and resource development. From lithium processing and carbon capture to waste heat recovery and low-carbon ironmaking, our multidisciplinary teams are helping clients and partners accelerate decarbonization and deliver real-world impact.
Carbon Capture: Practical Pathways to Emissions Reduction
Our carbon capture capabilities span front-end feasibility, process modeling, full facility designs, and integration with existing industrial systems. Samuel Engineering helps clients evaluate and deploy post-combustion capture, pre-combustion strategies, and carbon utilization technologies, always grounded in techno-economic realism. We collaborate with energy producers, manufacturers, and innovators to cut through the hype and deliver scalable solutions that align with regulatory frameworks and financial constraints.

Waste Heat to Power: Turning Industrial Heat into Clean Energy
Samuel is proud to have partnered with previous clients on a 10 MW waste heat to power project in Ohio, delivering carbon-free electricity to the University of Dayton starting in 2025. This project captures excess heat from industrial processes and converts it into renewable power, offsetting 100% of the university’s electricity needs and reducing emissions by over 70%. Samuel’s role includes engineering design, system integration, and project execution, showcasing our ability to turn sustainability goals into operational reality.
Supporting Electra’s Breakthrough in Low-Carbon Iron
Samuel Engineering is honored to support Electra in building its 130,000-square-foot low-carbon iron demonstration facility in Jefferson County, Colorado. Scheduled to begin production in 2026, the plant will validate Electra’s low-temperature, renewable-powered process for refining iron ore—eliminating the need for carbon-intensive blast furnaces.
Backed by a $50 million grant from Breakthrough Energy Catalyst and purchase agreements with Meta, Nucor Corporation, Toyota Tsusho America, and Interfer Edelstahl, Electra’s facility will produce 500 metric tons of 99% pure iron annually. Samuel Engineering is providing critical engineering support, helping Electra scale its technology and integrate it into a commercially viable plant. This collaboration reflects our commitment to advancing clean metals innovation and supporting clients at the forefront of industrial decarbonization.
