Abstract
Materials circularity and zero-emission metal production are closely tied together, as increased circularity is one way of reducing the emissions associated with metal production. Norway is a key supplier of metals and critical raw materials to the European Union. Its metal industry has been leading in the production of low-emission metals. The major challenge for the industry is the transition to zero emission production. The FME centre "Zero Emissions Metal Production" (ZeMe) has been created to support the industry with this transition by developing new knowledge and technologies in energy efficiency, fuel switching, carbon capture, circularity and resource efficiency.
