GREEN14 is a company pioneering critical material production through its cutting-edge hydrogen plasma reduction technology, and redefining the extraction of critical raw materials. This process is going to dramatically cut emissions and eliminate resilience for several materials, but their first use case is transforming waste into ultra-pure silicon products.
Europe’s reliance on non-European suppliers for critical raw materials puts advancements in clean energy and advanced technologies at risk. GREEN14 is committed to strengthening Europe’s security and resilience in supply chains by bringing domestic production to the Nordics.
Redefining critical raw material production
GREEN14’s hydrogen plasma reduction technology is redefining the extraction of critical raw materials. This high-temperature process efficiently transforms waste materials, such as quartz and industrial byproducts, into ultra-pure silicon. By integrating plasma ionization optimization through advanced software, this process ensures maximum efficiency and precision at every step.
Silicon is GREEN14’s beachhead case. Instead of traditional methods that rely on coal to separate silicon and oxygen from quartz, GREEN14 uses hydrogen—producing water as a byproduct instead of carbon dioxide, to reduce and refine in one step. This new approach drastically reduces emissions and eliminates harmful environmental impacts, redefining how silicon, an essential material in solar panels, semiconductors, and batteries, is sustainably produced.
