AlSiCal overarching objectives are:
- Position the European Union at the forefront of innovation for the Green Shift for the mineral and metal industry;
- Secure European sustainable production of alumina, silica and precipitated calcium carbonate by researching, developing and de-risking a ground-breaking technology for ZERO Bauxite residue and ZERO CO2 emissions from their co- production;
- Unlock substantial reserves of new resources within the European Union – and from worldwide available resources – that can complement or substitute today’s worldwide production of alumina under sustainable principles.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 820911
