![]() He developed the N.E.D Silicon process and was responsible for pilot testing of N.E.D. He is a process metallurgist and plant manager Ferro Silicon plants in Albania and Italy. He has a PhD (Italy) in Production of Solar Grade Silicon by direct metallurgical route. The process should be well suited to treat Kerf / secondary silicon from solar panels, and NOSI believes the use of such input will improve its process’ cost and environmental advantage, as the kerf may reduce the energy consumed (it’s already metallic) to produce the silicon metal.Īrtan Shyti, PhD is the CTO Northern Silicon. The process feed may be fines (such as sand and kerf), lumpy quartz and Si metal. The process has 3 main steps: (1) pre-treatment (2) smelting (3) purification. Reduced operational costs as the process requires substantially less energy to operate.Substantially less emissions of CO2 (long term goal to produce CO2 neutral silicon metal by using carbon black from biogas).The process has several advantages compared to establish solutions in the market today: NOSI plans to build a full-scale plant in Norway and license its technology and knowhow to partners in other countries. Northern Silicon (NOSI) has developed a process for producing high grade silicon metal from quartz and silicon metal that can be used in solar cell production. She is author and co-author of more than 20 journal papers and conference contributions. She also has experience with circular economy issues from projects on silicon kerf recycling and waste valorisation in the metallurgical industry. She has worked within the field of PV silicon for 14 years, including wafering and crystallisation. Birgit Ryningen, with the PV-Silicon group at SINTEF, holds an MSc in Chemistry and a PhD in Materials Science from NTNU. He represents Norway in the European Network of Crystal Growth (ENCG), and he is author and co-author of more than 20 SCI papers. He has background in crystalline silicon technology and photovoltaics. Currently he is leading the H2020 project, Eco Solar, where SINTEF is coordinator. He has a long experience as a project manager and has led central activities in several national and international R&D projects. Bellmann, who holds a PhD-degree in Metallurgy of Nonferrous Metals and High-Pure Materials, is the project coordinator. Furthermore, SINTEF will support industrial activities in WP2-WP with R&D, contribute to exploitation in WP6 and disseminate in WP7. SINTEF will take part in different technical WP’s, including WP1 and WP5 as WP leader on waste inventory and flow-sheeting, and product prototype demonstration, respectively. In addition, SINTEF will bring to the project the know-how on silicon crystallisation of mono-Si and mc-Si, wafer sawing, material refining and processing techniques, synthesis and characterization of batteries and electrical cells. Within the ICARUS project, SINTEF Industry will be the project coordinator. SINTEF has a close collaboration with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim and the University of Oslo (UiO). The profits of our contract research projects are invested in new research, scientific equipment and competence development. The contract research covers all scientific and technical areas, and ranges from fundamental research through applied research to commercialization of results into new products. SINTEF is an independent, non-commercial organisation. Our aim is to become the most renowned contract research institution in Europe. SINTEF is a broadly based, multidisciplinary research foundation that possesses international top-level expertise in technology, medicine and the social sciences.
