Most people know that metals are made from ore, but how do we make gold from gravel? That’s the process we must understand to be able to make the metal industry climate friendly. Here are some alternatives for CO2-free metal production.
To achieve “the green shift” the world needs new materials, not least metals. Today, carbon is particularly popular in the metal industry because it has the ability to remove oxygen from the ore so that we can get the metal out. In that process, CO2 is formed, the greenhouse gas that we must avoid in the future. At this time, we have started on the task of finding other ways to extract metals, but what alternatives do we really have?
