Resource recovery from oil shale ash
| Estonia
Estonia’s dependence on oil shale for energy has created enormous deposits of ash. The government has pointed out this as a non-sustainable way of going forward, for either humanity or the climate. Our vision is, instead of continuing to put debts to our future generation, to transform this into an opportunity to make the Estonian government a front leader in the green industry. With our solution, we will use the potential of oil shale ash as a resource and make the most out of it and in that way minimising new mining of critical raw material.
Ragn-Sells is cooperating with scientists of Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) and the University of Tartu and has developed a solution to extract valuable resources and create a circular solution for recovering resources.
