Biocarbon reductants for decarbonising the metallurgical industry

About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

The MetZero project aims to produce biocarbon at industrial scale from wood waste and low-value biomass using pyrolysis and agglomeration technologies, serving as a fossil-free reductant alternative in the metallurgical industry for silicon and manganese production.<grok:render type="render_inline_citation"><argument name="citation_id">16</argument></grok:render><grok:render type="render_inline_citation"><argument name="citation_id">42</argument></grok:render> It achieves 16% higher carbon content than metallurgical coal while providing mechanical strength and reactivity, and generates carbon-neutral energy.<grok:render type="render_inline_citation"><argument name="citation_id">0</argument></grok:render> Over the first ten years of operation, it is expected to avoid 415 kt CO2 emissions, supporting Europe's circular economy and supply of critical raw materials.
