Decarbonising Silicon Production in Europe for a Sustainable Future
Decarbonising silicon production in Europe is crucial for a sustainable and green future. Silicon is a key component in many industries, including electronics, solar panels, and construction materials. However, the traditional production process emits large amounts of carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change. Decarbonising this industry would significantly reduce carbon emissions and support Europe's goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050.

About Green14
Silicon production emits 105 million tonnes CO₂ per year, almost a third of the UK’s total emissions. We want to change that. More than 90% of the world’s silicon supply comes from China, extracted using an outdated method, involving enormous amounts of coal. With our technology, green hydrogen is used to replace coal as a necessary additive for the extraction process, drastically reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
