Bio-based materials in Metallurgical Processes – Innovations for Sustainable Metallurgy

As the Metallurgical industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint and transition toward more sustainable practices, the integration of biomaterials into metallurgical processes is emerging as a promising frontier. Biomaterials—ranging from biomass-derived reductants to bio-based reagents and microbial agents—offer innovative pathways to enhance process efficiency, reduce emissions, and support circular economy principles.

This two-day seminar, organized by POHTO Oy in collaboration with Vuorimiesyhdistys ry (Metallurgy Department), brings together industry professionals, researchers, and innovators to explore the current and future roles of biomaterials in metallurgy. Through expert-led sessions, real-world case studies, and interactive discussions, participants will gain a knowledge in the science, technology, and practical applications of biomaterials across various metallurgical operations.

Whether you are seeking to implement greener technologies, drive innovation in process development, or understand the regulatory and environmental implications of biomaterials, this course offers a unique opportunity to deepen your knowledge and connect with peers at the forefront of sustainable metallurgy.
