After nearly 30 years of basic research, Solvay will launch a pilot project in France – investing in testing an innovative, breakthrough and more sustainable soda ash production process at the Dombasle site, marking another step
towards Solvay's goal of "carbon neutrality by 2050".
towards Solvay's goal of "carbon neutrality by 2050".
Over the past few years, Solvay has invested a total of 40 million euros in the development of a patented technology obtained in 2014 – the company's researchers and engineers have invented a new method for the production of soda ash, achieving three revolutionary improvements in the production process:
❯ Reduce CO2 emissions by 50%.
❯ Reduce consumption of water, salt water and limestone
❯ Complete elimination of limestone residues
This will help Solvay plants operate more efficiently and sustainably, while increasing competitiveness
.
.
The study made another major breakthrough in early 2022, prompting Solvay to accelerate the pace
of investment.
of investment.
If the industrial pilot proves the viability of the new production process, Solvay will gradually roll it out in its plants over the next 30 years to help soda ash and its derivatives business become carbon neutral and eliminate limestone residues
.

Solvay is a producer of soda ash and sodium bicarbonate with 11 production sites
worldwide.
The soda ash and its derivatives range are relevant to a variety of key applications in our daily lives, such as glass production and exhaust gas purification systems, as well as healthcare applications
such as hemodialysis.
