We are pleased to announce that we have signed a funding agreement for the project “Biochar as an Alternative to Fossil-Based Reducing Agents in the Production of High-Silicon Alloys”. We are now launching our research and development activities!
Our Goal: Climate-Friendly Technology of the Future
In the era of energy transition and growing environmental demands, we are committed to sustainable development and cutting-edge solutions. The aim of the project is to develop an emission-free technology for producing ferrosilicon alloys, replacing fossil-based reductants with climate-neutral bioreductants.
What Will This Project Achieve?
✅ Replace coal and coke with bioreductants that generate no additional CO₂ emissions
✅ Completely eliminate fossil fuels from the production process
✅ We will use energy from our own 15 MW photovoltaic installation, generating approximately 16,700 MWh of renewable electricity annually.
✅ Implement production in modern resistance-arc furnaces for high process efficiency
Key Benefits of the New Technology:
⚙️ Increased daily production capacity
⚡ Significant reduction in electricity consumption
🌱 Major reduction in CO₂ emissions across the entire production cycle
Green FeSi75 – A Response to Market Challenges
Our new product – FeSi75 produced using climate-neutral bioreductants – meets current market needs and aligns with the ambitious goals of European climate policy. It represents not only a technological breakthrough but a tangible step toward the decarbonization of heavy industry.
Project Key Figures:
📌 Project value: PLN 101,330,550.33
📌 Eligible costs: PLN 79,968,059.95
📌 EU funding contribution: PLN 35,220,874.76
Thanks to support from European Funds, we are investing in modern technologies, the development of a low-carbon economy and the future of a sustainable metallurgical industry.
Stay tuned for updates on our project’s progress!
