SOURCE-LINKED INTELLIGENCE
Safe and stable low-power high-performance European CZ technology ready for accelerated scaling of a sustainable Western PV value chain
logy from start-up CZ-Tech AS (NO). Core Innovation (EL) and SINTEF (NO) will develop a digitalization framework to leverage CZ with the latest advances in AI and industry 4.0 features, equipped with machine learning tools from THM (DE). SINTEF will develop waste heat recovery and FerroGlobe (ES) recycle waste materials. BASF and Rena (DE) will develop new synthetic chemicals for wafering. Ingot and wafer producer Kalyon (TR) will share production data and perform large-scale production demos with the new chemicals and with advanced ceramics tools by SME TechnoSupport (BU). UKN (DE), Gunam (TR), and CEA (FR) will qualify wafers by cell processing and advanced characterization. Ingot and wafer startup Sunwafe (ES) will contribute with cost modelling and customer requirements. Solar Power Europe (BE) will assist with dissemination and technology implementation opportunities silicon PV, digitalisation, cost reduction, recycling, czochralski, wafer, ingots
