Elcowire has signed a groundbreaking agreement with Meva Energy to supply 9 MW of renewable biogas to its Helsingborg facility in Sweden.
This deal makes Elcowire the first copper wire producer globally to fully replace fossil gas with fossil-free energy in its production process, setting a new standard for sustainable metallurgy. The partnership addresses a critical challenge in the industry, as copper melting has traditionally relied on fossil fuels to achieve the high temperatures required for metal production.
Paul Gustavsson, CEO of Elcowire, says: “This partnership with Meva Energy is a game-changer for us. By being the first in the world to adopt fossil-free biogas for copper melting, Elcowire is not only advancing our own sustainability efforts but also setting a new benchmark for the entire metallurgy sector. We are proud to lead this transformation toward a greener, more sustainable future.”
Meva Energy will design, own, and operate an on-site energy plant at Elcowire’s Helsingborg facility, providing 9 MW of renewable biogas over the 15-year period.
