Elkem Curtails Ferrosilicon Production In Norway And Iceland Due To Market Conditions Elkem ASA has announced a partial curtailment of ferrosilicon production at its plants in Rana, Norway, and Iceland due to challenging market conditions. The decision is driven by ongoing weak market conditions in Europe, which have led to rising inventory levels and lower prices. The European Union's investigation into potential safeguard measures on imports of ferrosilicon and ferroalloys has further increased uncertainty. The curtailment may result in temporary layoffs of employees as Elkem aims to reduce inventories and support a better market balance. The core product at these plants, ferrosilicon, is a critical raw material for the steel industry. Elkem's Senior Vice President for Silicon Products, Inge A. Grubben-Strømnes, emphasized the need for competitive and predictable framework conditions and continued access to the EU market for Norwegian industry. Aankondiging • Mar 15

Elkem ASA Secures EUR 1.8 Million European Union Grant to Explore CO2-Free Silicon Production Elkem ASA has secured EUR 1.8 million in funding from the European Union for the groundbreaking Elkem Sicalo® (Silicon production with carbon looping) project, which aims to eliminate all CO2 emissions from silicon production. Elkem, SINTEF and NORCE are completing the first pilot phase of Elkem Sicalo® at Elkem's technology park in Kristiansand, Norway. The project entails capturing the carbon emitted from the silicon furnace and reusing it as a reductant in the silicon production process. The EU has now granted EUR 9.9 million in funding for the Horizon Europe project MECALO, which builds on Elkem Sicalo®. MECALO will develop the concept of carbon looping further for general metal production, with demonstration of zero CO2 silicon and manganese alloys. The manganese alloys producer Eramet, with its six smelters in Norway, France, the United States and Gabon, is the other metallurgical company in the consortium aiming to develop and use the technology from MECALO. If successful and fully implemented in all European production of silicon and manganese, MECALO could save 33 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year in 2050. Silicon is a raw material that is critical for the green and digital transitions. Its application ranges from electric vehicles to solar cells, batteries, smart phones and wind turbines. The production of silicon is a source of greenhouse gas emissions, as the process requires carbon to reduce quartz into silicon. Some metals, such as steel, can be produced with hydrogen as a reductant. This is not possible for silicon, manganese and several other metals. That's why pioneering projects such as MECALO are needed, to develop innovative production methods without CO2 emissions. The MECALO project will research and develop a new production method that involves capturing carbon oxides from process off-gases, converting them to solid carbon using low-carbon hydrogen, and reusing the recovered carbon as a reduction material to produce critical metals and materials. While this method is showing promising results, it also presents challenges that need to be resolved, such as increased energy use. The overall budget for MECALO is EUR 9.9 million (NOK 116 million), with Elkem's budget and requested grant amounting to EUR 1.8 million (NOK 21 million). Key highlights of the MECALO project: Innovative carbon capture and reuse: Capturing carbon oxides from off-gases and converting them into solid carbon using hydrogen, which is then reused in metal production. Elimination of external carbon feedstock: The process aims to eliminate the need for external carbon in carbothermic production. Researching production of "turquoise hydrogen": A project partner will research methane pyrolysis, whereby methane is cracked into hydrogen and solid carbon, using only a fifth of the energy required for green hydrogen production. Elkem has been working on Elkem Sicalo® with SINTEF as its research partner since 2021, with support from The Research Council of Norway from 2022-2024. The research partners are now initiating the second phase of the project with extensive pilot testing of various stages of the production process, with support from Enova. Aankondiging • Oct 18
