In this study SINTEF has focuses on circular economic opportunities that are expected to have a large potential for reducing the climate gas emissions associated with Norwegian consumption and production. Over a dozen circular strategies were...
The Ion4Raw project proposes an energy-, material- and cost-efficient new mineral processing technology to recover by-products from primary sources by means of innovative Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) ionic liquids and advanced electro recovery, in one...
The EU-funded TARANTULA project aims to recover refractory metals from low-grade waste by developing a suite of cost-effective, scalable, and eco-friendly metallurgical processes. Following systematic research activities at a laboratory scale, the...
Cobalt is used in many applications that support the shift to a low-carbon economy and the demand for cobalt is rapidly increasing. The CROCODILE project aims to drastically reduce the supply risk of cobalt for the European industries by increasing...
PreMa - Energy efficient, primary production of manganese ferroalloys through the application of novel energy systems in the drying and pre-heating of furnace feed materials, is a H2020 project aimed at demonstrating an innovative suite of...
The main goal of the SecREEts project is to establish a stable and secure supply of critical rare earth elements based on a sustainable extraction from European apatite sources used in fertiliser production.
The overall aim of “KPN Reduced CO2 emissions in metal production” is to develop the basis for reduced climate effects from the production of Si, FeSi, Mn-alloy and TiO2 slag to obtain 30% lower CO2 emission in 2030 and zero CO2 emission in 2050.
Examining the utilisation of waste nutrients from fish farming for the cultivation of bristle worms (Polychaeta) as raw material for feed.
GoJelly will deliver revolutionary solutions in the battle against two major environmental threats - microplastic pollution and jellyfish population increase - and transform these into opportunities for new products that can provide benefits to...
Scandium (Sc) is one of the highest valued elements in the periodic table and an element which is usually grouped in REEs as it shares many characteristics with Yttrium. The SCALE project sets about to develop and secure a European Sc supply chain...
The PLATIRUS project aims at reducing the European deficit of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs), by upscaling to industrial relevant levels a novel cost-efficient and miniaturised PGMs recovery and raw material production process. The Platinum Group...
The main goal of REE4EU is to realize a breakthrough in securing the availability of rare earth elements in Europe, providing for the first time a cost effective and efficient method of extraction and direct Rare Earth Alloys production route from...
