Aker Carbon Capture awarded study and test campaign from Wacker
Aker Carbon Capture has been awarded a feasibility study and an eight-months test campaign to explore the capture of CO2 emissions from WACKER’s metallurgical-grade silicon production at the Holla plant in Kyrksæterøra, Norway. The German multinational chemical group has set a goal to halve its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and be net zero by 2045.Silicon metal is one of WACKER’s most important raw materials for producing two key products in its portfolio: silicones and hyperpure polysilicon.
