Skellefteå
Bergsbyn, Sweden
About the project
What we are going to build in Bergsbyn, Skellefteå, is something unique. Here, Cinis Fertilizer will produce sustainable mineral fertilizer made from residual products from electric car battery manufacturing and the pulp industry. We will use traditional and proven process technology powered by fossil-free electricity. Our final product, potassium sulphate (SOP), will be an important contribution to the green transformation of agriculture.
Cinis Fertilizer's production facility will be the second in Sweden, after the one currently being built in Köpmanholmen, Örnsköldsvik. Additional production facilities will be established in the Nordic region and USA. The production method that Cinis Fertilizer will use is known as the Glaserite process and has been around since the 1950s. This method of producing SOP is well proven and the technical risk associated with it is low.
