Ambition statements

We will use our catalytic experience to create a new generation of ammonia synthesis catalysts by utilising materials recovered from spent magnets containing iron and neodymium. We aim to create new catalysts of properties that are at least the same or even better than those of commercially available counterparts. As we rely on recycled raw materials, we offer green-added value to technology and contribute to resource independence, which is attractive within the scope of current European economic development and critical raw material management.
