How is Tekna contributing to the UN goals?

Silicon nano powder for increased battery capacity and resource efficiency

Developing resource efficient production processes

12.2 12.4 12.5 12.6

Circular and resource efficient products through Additive Manufacturing

Tekna developed a cost-efficient process to produce silicon nano powders that are used in the manufacturing of Lithium-ion batteries (LiB). The use of silicon nano powders opens the possibility to increase the LiB energy storage capability by up to 60% according to theoretical models with the following direct benefits:

    1. Increases clean energy storage capability (windmills, solar cells, etc.)
    1. Reduces the volume of raw materials in manufacturing LiB thus the cost;
    1. Increases clean energy performance as a substitute to coal and fossil-fuels;
    1. Reduce global consumption of fossil fuels.

Tekna is among the top 3 world leaders in manufacturing powders for Additive Manufacturing. Tekna's involvement goes beyond the manufacturing of powders up to assisting the industry in developing standards and product requirements that will, in the end, accelerate the technology adoption.

By being a leader in its field and promoting the development and adoption of AM as an alternate solution to traditional manufacturing methods Tekna has a direct contribution to these UN SDG targets.

  1. Low carbon emission;

characteristics:

by Tekna have the following

  1. 95% of the gases involved in the manufacturing of its products are reused in the process;

The manufacturing processes developed

    1. 100% of the power use to run the facility and the processes are sourced from clean energy hydro power plants;
    1. The heat generated by the plasma systems is recuperated and recirculated to heat the facilities;
    1. Gases stocks are maximized with gas trailers and silos containers avoiding non eco-friendly weekly replacement of bulk packs.
