Vow Green Metals AS and Elkem ASA are advancing their relationship beyond an initial letter of intent and has entered an agreement to cooperate on the further development and supply of biocarbon suited for Elkem's advanced metals processes. The objective of the cooperation agreement is to develop a competitive reduction material for the metallurgical industry. The production, which will take place at Vow Green Metals' factory at Follum, will be based on forest waste and other sustainable feedstock sourced in Norway.

As part of the agreement, the parties will collaborate to secure the development, qualification and testing of the biocarbon product to Elkem.
