Join our online workshop: From kerf to value: recycling silicon for tomorrow
ICARUS is turning silicon kerf waste from solar wafer production, generating high-purity silicon into valuable raw materials for the solar, battery and advanced materials sectors via several circular pathways.
We invite you to our online workshop on Wednesday, 10 September 2025, from 16:00 to 18:30, where we will explore the latest breakthroughs in silicon kerf recycling:
- Purification technologies achieving up to 9N purity
- Emerging applications in thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, and battery materials
- Market insights on silicon kerf availability, pricing, and comparisons with virgin silicon
- Expert presentations from five leading organizations
- Interactive breakout sessions for deep dives into technical topics, collaboration opportunities, and open discussion
You will have the opportunity to discuss with our experts:
- Martin Bellmann, SINTEF – Coordinates the ICARUS project and contributes deep expertise in silicon crystallization, refining and battery materials development
- Prof. Theodora Kyratsi, University of Cyprus – Designs thermoelectric modules using Si-kerf-based silicides for energy harvesting from waste-heat
- Christian Landaas, Northern Silicon (NOSI) – Offers a hydrogen plasma process for carbon-free silicon metal and other metal purifications, delivering high-purity output with lower energy demand.
- Anne-Karin Søiland, ReSiTec – Industrial processing and development of silicon powder materials based on silicon kerf-loss targeted for advanced applications as lithium-ion batteries
- Dr. Wolfram Palitzsch, LuxChemtech – Develops technologies for the recovery of high-tech silicon and PV waste using advanced mechanical and chemical recycling.
