I-ROX develops pulsed-power technology intended to quickly and efficiently shatter rocks and mineral ores using short, high-intensity energy bursts. The company positions its approach as a way to reduce the time, energy usage and carbon emissions associated with traditional mechanical crushing and grinding (comminution). I-ROX intends to use the new funding to continue development of its pulsed-power applications. The startup operates at I-Cube Research in Toulouse, a 100-person company within the I-Pulse group. The project is described as a collaborative effort involving Breakthrough Energy Ventures‑Europe and I-Pulse, which the article states were founded by Bill Gates (BEV-E) and Robert Friedland and Laurent Frescaline (I-Pulse).
