Elkem Awarded NOK 32,8 Million to Advance Low-Emission Recycling Project
Elkem ASA, Norway, a global leader in advanced silicon-based materials, has been awarded NOK 32,8 million by Innovation Norway to develop low-emission products for the automotive and construction sectors. The grant supports a two-year R&D project (2025–2026) focused on recycling slag and silicon materials to promote a circular economy and significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
A key innovation is the development of cement alternatives from slag generated at Elkem’s ferrosilicon smelters, with a target CO2-footprint of less than one-third of conventional cement. The project also aims to achieve over 50 % recycling rates by using secondary silicon sources, turning what was once considered waste into valuable raw materials.
The initiative is supported under Innovation Norway’s Environmental Technology Scheme, which funds new environmental technologies through development, pilot testing, and demonstration.
Testing will take place at REC Solar Norway’s former facilities in Kristiansand, acquired by Elkem in 2024 to support product and process development. Several former REC employees have joined Elkem’s efforts at the site, adjacent to its existing R&D centre. “This project plays to all of Elkem’s strengths: pioneering green technology to produce strategic materials essential for a sustainable future”, said Håvard Moe, SVP for Technology at Elkem. “Elkem is transforming by-products into resources, supporting national and international climate goals”, added Gro Eide, VP of Innovation at Elkem Silicon Products.
