In an exciting collaboration between Boliden, E.ON, and Chalmers, iron sand has proven to be a promising replacement for traditional silica sand in fluidized bed combustion (FBC). The project, funded by the Swedish Energy Agency, Boliden, and E.ON, aims to explore how iron sand can contribute to a more sustainable and efficient combustion process.

The Ecolink project is a strong example of how cross-industry collaboration can lead to smart and sustainable ways of utilizing resources. In collaboration with the energy company Skellefteå Kraft, we’ve made it possible for waste heat from Boliden Rönnskär to benefit even more district heating customers.

We began our ecological compensation work in Sarkanenä back in 2013. The expansion of the tailings dam at the Aitik mine impacted several important natural values, and the Sarkanenä sustainability park is part of Boliden’s work with compensating for these lost natural values.

We have now demolished our dam on the Skellefte River, at the closed Långdal mine. We have carried out the project with the least possible impact on the environment, not only in the local area, but also by reusing and recycling of sheet pilings. We have also minimized the project's carbon dioxide emissions by using fossil-free fuels.
