Resource efficient metal production from a clean industry
Metal production_main tekst
Metal Production is an interdisciplinary Centre for Research-based Innovation (SFI). During the next decades, the Norwegian metal industry will need to achieve even higher-quality output with more efficient use of resources and energy.
The main goal of Metal Production is to enable industrial innovation and give the industry long term access to world class fundamental competence and candidates. This will enable the industry to maintain its position at the forefront of sustainable innovation.
INFACON will be a fully digital conference from September 26-29 . All sessions will be live sessions where you can interact with speakers, sponsors can have meetings with attendees during or after the conference and in the meeting hub you can meet other attendees.
The intention of INFACON is to stimulate technical interchange on all aspects of silicon/ferroalloy production. INFACON contributes to the exchange of research and development covering the major and most of the minor ferroalloys. The conference is hosted by SINTEF, NTNU and FFF (The Norwegian Ferroalloy Producers Research Association), and organized in cooperation with the International Committee on Ferro-Alloys (ICFA).

26 May, 2021 - Elkem undersøker sammen med FME HighEff og SFI Metal Production mulighetene for resirkulering av avgass under produksjon av silisium. Forsøkene viser at resirkulering er et tiltak med stort potensiale for å redusere NOx-utslipp og gjøre CO₂-fangst lettere for Si-prosessen. Les mer i blogginnlegget om prosjektet.
