REC Silicon’s core battery technology centers on its ultra-pure Signature Silane® gas used to produce silicon-based anode materials, enhancing lithium-ion battery performance and energy density. Manufacturing processes include traditional Siemens technology and advanced Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR) systems to produce granular polysilicon while maintaining stringent purity standards for battery-grade materials.
Flagship Signature Silane® gas for silicon-based anodes; specialty silicon gases; electronic-grade polysilicon. Features include ultra-high purity, battery-grade quality, and compatibility with EV battery manufacturers.
Partnership with Sila Nanotechnologies to supply silane for Titan Silicon anode materials used in EV batteries by Mercedes-Benz and Panasonic Energy. As of 2024, ceased polysilicon production at Moses Lake, Washington and Butte, Montana facilities, shifting to dedicated silicon gas provision and maintaining equipment for potential future gas production; collaboration with Group14 Technologies affected by strategic shift.
REC Silicon’s key shareholders include Hanwha Solutions Corporation with a 33.3% stake (2022), DNB Asset Management AS with 1.1%, Erste Asset Management GmbH with 1.2%, Lodbrok Capital LLP with 1.0%, and Storebrand Asset Management AS with 0.8%.
