With a long term-goal to achieve carbon-neutral metal production, Elkem (Oslo, Norway) is currently conducting a feasibility study for the establishment of carbon capture and storage (CCS). The purpose of the study is to assess the technical and economic feasibility of installing carbon capture at its Norwegian plants in Bjølvefossen, Bremanger, Rana, Salten and Thamshavn. The project has received financial support from Gassnova, the Norwegian state enterprise to further develop technologies, through the CLIMIT program. The findings from the study will be transferred to Elkem’s plants outside Norway, including Elkem’s ferrosilicon plant on Iceland.
