Earthlings 2.0 Podcast: Can Renewable Energy Replace Combustion?

FeX Energy

June 2, 2026

🔥 45% of all final energy use is heat, and most of it still comes from burning fossil fuels. That’s one of the most stubborn challenges in decarbonization, and it’s exactly what FeX Energy is tackling.

Guest host Luis de Leon sits down with Hayden Smith, CEO of FeX Energy, to break down how iron–yes, iron–could replace combustion in heavy industry.

Our Iron Arc Reactor stores renewable electricity and releases it later as sustained industrial heat beyond 500°C. No burning. No carbon. And because iron is the most produced metal on Earth, there are none of the supply chain headaches that come with lithium or cobalt.

From chemicals to food processing, the industries that need this most are closer to a solution than you might think. If your work touches energy, manufacturing, or climate tech, this one is worth a listen.🎧

Why many industrial electrification projects hit the grid limit

Electrifying industrial heat is often framed as a question of energy supply. But in many real projects, the first constraint shows up somewhere else entirely. Electrical infrastructure.

Define the Constraint First

Energy discussions often revolve around categories. Batteries versus thermal. Short duration versus long duration. Electrify versus don’t electrify.
