New technology developed in Tyssedal can provide both growth and global climate benefits in titanium production. Now fold state Enova in the project.
Possible industrial adventure:
Ilmenitt- and iron factory in Tyssedal (TTI) will double production, reduce their CO2 emissions by 90 percent, using the energy 60 percent more efficiently and provide up to 100 additional jobs.
wrote ABC News in August 2013.
Today came the message that enables the project, namely an investment of 122 million from Enova.
KlimaGevinst can spread
– We are very pleased with Enova decision. Norway now has an opportunity to contribute to the future production of titanium dioxide become more energy efficient and environmentally friendly, says CEO Harald Grande in TTI Enova.
– This provides the basis for the change of pace to a much more environmentally-friendly production and for further green technology and growth in Tysseldal, he adds.
– The technology developed in Tyssedal a strong competency, interacting with, among others, SINTEF and NTNU. The project to TTI is a good example of industry innovation willingness related to energy and climate technology, says marketing director Audhild Kvam Enova in the press release.

Enova sees significant diversification potential in the project. Smelting industry, both nationally and internationally, could be of interest to the results of this project, especially when it comes to liquid cooling copper vaults.
– If several uses this technology in the long term, this could provide significant energy efficiency and reduced CO 2 emissions, said Kvam.
With ties Senegal
The expansion Tyssedal will require more raw material than ilmenite coming from Hauge in Dalane.
In the West African country Senegal Tizir trying to build up a huge mining plant that will be operational in the spring. From the raw materials to the new production line in Tyssedal come.
In Senegal, the company invests 3.5-4 billion at the mine, which will provide 400-500 employees. The aim is that as many as possible should be from locals in the impoverished country.
