Specialty raw materials, namely High Purity Alumina (HPA) and Silicon, are cornerstones of the energy transition with a current market volume of $5’000 million and double digit yearly growth. Further cost reductions in solar cells and expansion in efficient lightening (LED) may soon be limited by inefficient legacy production processes of the raw material supply chain. SiQAl was founded in February 2018 and establishes a metallurgical production process for HPA and silicon that is resource efficient, highly profitable and specifically designed to serve the needs of the energy transition.
SiQAl is participating in WP2 and WP3 within this project. The company will focus on business case 4 and demonstrate the refining of Si and alumina products for application as SoG-Si as well as HPA for sapphire growth.
