The Iron Edge: FeX and the Future of Energy

​How a Montreal startup is rethinking industrial heat, powering remote mines, and building resilience in northern communities.

​Canada is home to bold climate innovations reshaping energy and industry. Join Amplify Capital for a fireside chat with Hayden Smith, CEO of FeX Energy, a Montreal-based company pioneering iron-based thermal energy storage to decarbonize one of the toughest sectors: industrial heat. FeX’s modular system is designed to deliver on-demand, zero-carbon heat up to 900°C, displacing fossil fuels in remote mines, heavy industry, off-grid communities and defence applications. 

​In conversation with Amplify, Hayden will share FeX’s journey from lab to pilot and its path toward commercialization - and how deeptech breakthroughs like this can position Canada as a leader in the energy transition, enabling clean, firm, and affordable power for both industry and communities.
