About us

Spearheading the development of a rapidly growing biobased industry

Vow Green Metals is spearheading the development of a new green industry. Our ambition is to become a leading European producer of biocarbon and other carbon-neutral products that enable the green transition in hard-to-abate sectors. We build, own, and operate biocarbon production plants based on advanced pyrolysis technology, converting biomass into high-quality biocarbon – a renewable alternative to fossil reduction agents in the metallurgical industry. The process also yields other valuable products, including bio-oil and bioenergy. Our mission is to accelerate the shift to renewable materials and enable sustainable growth across industrial value chains. Vow Green Metals is backed by strong owners providing growth capital and industrial expertise: HitecVision, a leading private equity investor in the European energy sector, together with regional renewable energy producers Vardar and Skagerak Energipartner.

Highlights

  • Large-scale plant under development at Hønefoss, set to become one of Europe's largest, with a production capacity of 20,000 tons of biocarbon soon operational
  • Industrial-scale production and R&D facility in place to deliver initial volumes of biocarbon to established partners and produce samples and develop recipes to mature new markets and new offtake partners.
  • Ambition to build several new plants with a target of reaching a combined annual production capacity of 200,000 tons of biocarbon by 2030.
  • Ongoing projects under development with combined production capacity exceeding 80,000 tons of biocarbon.
  • Massive addressable market in Europe with demand for 56 million tons of fossil coal annually – high demand for sustainable reduction materials.
  • 100 percent offtake secured for the large-scale project at Hønefoss with supply agreements signed with reputed metallurgical companies, Elkem, one of the world’s leading providers of advance silicon based materials, and Outokumpu, a European market leader in sustainable stainless steel.
  • Unique access to proven and proprietary technology and IP – Vow Green Metals’ large-scale process concept has passed 3rd party technology verification conducted by Afry.
  • Vow Green Metals’ production facilities offer surplus energy and is not heavily dependent on grid capacity, making the concept a welcomed addition to any industrial hub seeking energy symbiosis.
  • Commercially de-risked market with metallurgical producers racing to secure access to biocarbon as first-movers have already signed long-term biocarbon offtake agreements in the Nordics.
