Sovereign Metals rutile project to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emission
Each tonne of natural rutile to be produced at Kasiya is expected to have a Global Warming Potential of only 0.1 tonnes CO2 eq. This equates to a 95% to 97% reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions (20 to 33 times less) compared to production of respectively. Titania slag and synthetic rutile are alternative titanium feedstocks produced by upgrading ilmenite via energy and carbon intensive processes
