Manganese is a key material in the production of steel, batteries, and other high-demand products. However, traditional manganese extraction and refining methods are highly energy-intensive and emit significant CO2. The HAlMan project, funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme, aims to change this by developing an innovative process that uses hydrogen and secondary aluminum sources to replace carbon-based reductants. This sustainable approach not only reduces the carbon footprint of the metallurgical industry but also promotes the use of secondary raw materials, cutting waste and optimizing energy use.
Join the HAlMan webinar – November 14, 2024
To share the latest progress and results from this pioneering initiative, the HAlMan consortium invites you to a webinar on November 14, 2024, at 10:00 CET via Webex. Leading experts will discuss the project’s newest developments, results from pilot tests, and the potential industry impact.
Speakers include Dr. Maria Wallin and Prof. Jafar Safarian from NTNU, Dr. Konstantinia Papadimitriou from Admiris, Dr. Casper Van der Eijk from SINTEF, and Sello Tsebe from MINTEK. They will present insights into manganese resource mapping, pilot test outcomes, innovative production methods, and the role of hydrogen and aluminum in reducing carbon emissions and waste in manganese production.
