Elkem is among the world leading companies for environmentally responsible production of metals and materials. The principal products are silicon, silicones, special alloys for the foundry industry, microsilica and carbon-based products, as anode graphite for Li-ion batteries. Elkem ASA technology contributes to research and development projects related to all parts of Elkem’s value chain. The research strategy is built on a close connection between the operational organisation and the researchers.

Elkem participate in the project to

  • strengthen the competence level and attractiveness of the Elkem R&D Centre for later projects and services
  • create novel products, open potential new business lines and markets with high added value
  • assess the potential for sustainable production of hard-carbon in large scale in Norway.

Knowledge in the production of hard carbon; development of process parameters and reaching a test matrix for the best available production technology will be a key factor in order to evaluate a potential up-scaled production for Elkem.
