Expanding Horizon Europe Results: Additional Collaboration Track with EIT RawMaterials

 

As a result of participation in консультаційні та підготовчі заходи within the Horizon Europe programme, LLC “Scientific and Production Company ‘Promenergia’” has identified new opportunities for development and international integration.

 

 

One of the key outcomes of this work is the establishment of an additional collaboration track with the European innovation ecosystem of EIT RawMaterials.

 

This track does not replace the core activities within Horizon Europe, but serves as a practical extension, enabling the company to:

  • accelerate the implementation of developed solutions into real industrial projects;
  • gain access to industrial partnerships across EU countries;
  • strengthen commercialization of technologies in the field of critical raw materials;
  • expand access to funding instruments within innovation ecosystems.

 

Within this additional track, the company focuses on:

  • development of technologies for titanium slag and ferrotitanium production;
  • integration into European supply chains of strategic materials;
  • preparation for pilot and demonstration projects;
  • building partnerships for industrial scale-up.

 

Collaboration with EIT RawMaterials enables the alignment of results achieved under Horizon Europe with practical tools for market entry and industrial deployment.

 

Thus, participation in Horizon Europe has become not only a platform for project preparation, but also a catalyst for creating new development pathways, strengthening the position of Ukrainian companies in the European industrial landscape.

Calcium carbide

 

Calcium carbide (carbonaceous calcium, calcium acetylenide) - CaC2 is a pure white crystalline substance. Compound of calcium with carbon.

Calcium carbide is produced by fusing carbonite and quicklime in electric furnaces. Molten calcium carbide releases from the furnace into special molds, where it hard. Harden calcium carbide crushes and sorts into of a certain size pieces.

Technical calcium carbide is a hard-crystalline substance. Calcium carbide is a dark gray or brown solid in appearance. Depending on the purity it gives a gray crystalline fracture with different shades. Calcium carbide greedily absorbs water., calcium carbide decomposes with a violent release of acetylene and a large amount of heat interacting with water, even cold. Decomposition of calcium carbide also occurs under the influence of atmospheric moisture.
