The recipe for cooking up metallurgical grade silicon is Add 1 part silicon dioxide (gravel) and 2 parts carbon (sourced from coal, charcoal, or wood chips) to an electric arc furnace Crank up the heat to 2200 degrees Celsius (this is a third of the temperature of the sun!!) Want to learn more about the solar panel supply chain?

The region does not have the same access to renewable energy or nuclear generation capacity as some other regions, making the path to a decarbonized grid more difficult. And in June, we announced $16 million in funding for the large-scale conversion of carbon dioxide emissions into valuable products.
