Pioneering Extreme Electrochemistry for a Carbon-Free Future
Sadoway Labs Foundation is revolutionizing the fight against climate change with cutting-edge, scalable technologies. We harness the power of extreme electrochemistry to drive a carbon-free future.
As a scientific research nonprofit, we are advancing solutions for deep decarbonization, pushing the boundaries of innovation in sustainable energy storage, transportation, and manufacturing.
Our World Is a House On Fire
Climate change, fueled by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions like carbon dioxide, is already devastating human existence.
This is a carbon crisis.
We Cannot Afford Inaction
Morbidity and mortality
Loss of biodiversity and nature
Conflict and migration
Productivity loss
Damages to assets and capital
Disruptions to the global economy
Changing the World with Extreme Electrochemistry
Extreme electrochemistry (XE) is a chemical reaction powered by electricity in molten salts and liquid metals at over 1000° F.
In the 1800s, aluminum production was complex, costly, and inaccessible. The refined metal was worth its weight in gold. A radical new science, extreme electrochemistry, transformed this coveted metal of the Victorian age into an industry workhorse, ubiquitous in our modern life.
Now we’re decarbonizing the planet with extreme electrochemistry.

Electrifying Industry
Decarbonization is the process of reducing or eliminating carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions from strategic industry sectors to mitigate climate change.
​
Decarbonization is achieved through renewable energy, novel manufacturing, and carbon capture technologies.
