This week, the power for Vow Green Metals' early production line at Hønefoss,
Norway, was switched on for the first time marking a key milestone for the
project. The early production line operates solely on electric power and will
have a total annual production capacity of 2,500 tons of biocarbon.  
 
Vow Green Metals will produce its first biocarbon from the early production line
during the commissioning process, and the company expects to finalize this
process in November, before entering operations and ramping up production over
the following months.  
 
"We are pleased to have started the commissioning process, the first in Vow
Green Metals' history. As part of this process, we will identify improvements
and track learnings that will be transferred to our next projects. The results
so far are reassuring, and the project is progressing well," said Chief
Executive Officer of Vow Green Metals, Cecilie Jonassen.
