Manganese is a critical component for producing steel, batteries, and other high-demand materials. However, the traditional processes used to extract and refine manganese are highly energy-intensive and generate significant CO2 emissions. The HAlMan project, funded by the European Union, seeks to change this by developing a new process that leverages hydrogen and recycled aluminum to replace conventional carbon-based reductants.
The Horizon Europe project HAlMan aims to develop and demonstrate an integrated, sustainable process to produce manganese and manganese alloys using hydrogen and secondary aluminum sources as reductants. This innovative approach will not only reduce the carbon footprint of the metallurgical industry but also enhance the use of secondary raw materials, minimizing waste and optimizing energy consumption.
Join the HAlMan Webinar – November 14, 2024
To provide more insight into the groundbreaking work of the HAlMan project, the consortium invites you to join their upcoming webinar on November 14, 2024, at 10:00 CET via Webex. In this session, leading experts from the project will present the latest developments, key findings from pilot tests, and the expected industry-wide impacts.
