Orion S.A.’s Circular Carbon Black Recognized by EU’s ‘Innovation Radar’
Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC) has achieved recognition from the European Commission's 'Innovation Radar' as a 'Key Innovator' for pioneering the production of circular carbon black from 100% pyrolysis oil derived from end-of-life tires. This sustainable alternative to fossil oil-based carbon black marks a significant breakthrough in circular manufacturing.
The recognition stems from Orion's participation in the EU-funded BlackCycle project, a Michelin-led initiative involving seven industrial partners and five research organizations. The project aimed to develop innovative processes for manufacturing new tires from end-of-life tires.
Building on this success, Orion has launched the 'Clean Carbon Black Research and Development Project,' supported by a €6.4 million grant from the German government and European Union. This initiative focuses on developing climate-neutral processes for producing carbon black from alternative carbon sources.
Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC) ha ottenuto il riconoscimento dalla 'Innovation Radar' della Commissione Europea come 'Innovatore Chiave' per essere pioniera nella produzione di carbon black circolare da olio di pirolisi al 100% derivato da pneumatici a fine vita. Questa alternativa sostenibile al carbon black a base di petrolio fossile rappresenta un importante progresso nella produzione circolare.
Il riconoscimento deriva dalla partecipazione di Orion al progetto BlackCycle, un'iniziativa guidata da Michelin che coinvolge sette partner industriali e cinque organizzazioni di ricerca. Il progetto mirava a sviluppare processi innovativi per la produzione di nuovi pneumatici a partire da pneumatici a fine vita.
Basandosi su questo successo, Orion ha lanciato il 'Progetto di Ricerca e Sviluppo sul Carbon Black Pulito', sostenuto da un finanziamento di 6,4 milioni di euro da parte del governo tedesco e dell'Unione Europea. Questa iniziativa si concentra sullo sviluppo di processi climaticamente neutrali per la produzione di carbon black da fonti di carbonio alternative.

(NYSE: OEC) ha recibido el reconocimiento del 'Radar de Innovación' de la Comisión Europea como 'Innovador Clave' por ser pionera en la producción de negro de carbono circular a partir de aceite de pirólisis 100% derivado de neumáticos al final de su vida útil. Esta alternativa sostenible al negro de carbono basado en petróleo fósil representa un avance significativo en la fabricación circular.
El reconocimiento proviene de la participación de Orion en el proyecto BlackCycle, una iniciativa liderada por Michelin que involucra a siete socios industriales y cinco organizaciones de investigación. El proyecto tenía como objetivo desarrollar procesos innovadores para fabricar nuevos neumáticos a partir de neumáticos al final de su vida útil.
Construyendo sobre este éxito, Orion ha lanzado el 'Proyecto de Investigación y Desarrollo de Negro de Carbono Limpio', apoyado por una del gobierno alemán y de la Unión Europea. Esta iniciativa se centra en desarrollar procesos climáticamente neutros para producir negro de carbono a partir de fuentes de carbono alternativas.
오리온 S.A. (NYSE: OEC)는 유럽연합 집행위원회의 '혁신 레이더'에서 100% 폐타이어에서 유래한 열분해유로부터 순환 탄소 블랙을 생산하는 선구자로 '핵심 혁신가'로 인정받았습니다. 이 지속 가능한 대안은 화석유 기반의 탄소 블랙에 대한 중요한 돌파구를 나타냅니다.
이 인정은 오리온이 참여한 EU 자금 지원 블랙사이클 프로젝트에서 비롯되었으며, 이는 미쉐린이 이끄는 이니셔티브로 7개의 산업 파트너와 5개의 연구 기관이 참여하고 있습니다. 이 프로젝트는 폐타이어로부터 새로운 타이어를 제조하기 위한 혁신적인 프로세스를 개발하는 것을 목표로 했습니다.
이 성공을 바탕으로 오리온은 독일 정부와 유럽연합의 640만 유로 보조금으로 지원되는 '청정 탄소 블랙 연구 및 개발 프로젝트'를 시작했습니다. 이 이니셔티브는 대체 탄소 원료로부터 탄소 블랙을 생산하기 위한 기후 중립적 프로세스를 개발하는 데 중점을 두고 있습니다.
Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC) a été reconnue par le 'Radar d'Innovation' de la Commission Européenne comme 'Innovateur Clé' pour son rôle de pionnier dans la production de noir de carbone circulaire à partir d'huile de pyrolyse à 100% provenant de pneus en fin de vie. Cette alternative durable au noir de carbone à base de pétrole fossile représente une avancée significative dans la fabrication circulaire.
Cette reconnaissance découle de la participation d'Orion au projet BlackCycle, une initiative dirigée par Michelin impliquant sept partenaires industriels et cinq organisations de recherche. Le projet visait à développer des processus innovants pour fabriquer de nouveaux pneus à partir de pneus en fin de vie.
S'appuyant sur ce succès, Orion a lancé le 'Projet de Recherche et Développement sur le Noir de Carbone Propre', soutenu par une subvention de 6,4 millions d'euros du gouvernement allemand et de l'Union Européenne. Cette initiative se concentre sur le développement de processus climatiquement neutres pour produire du noir de carbone à partir de sources de carbone alternatives.
Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC) wurde von der 'Innovation Radar' der Europäischen Kommission als 'Schlüsselinnovator' anerkannt, da es Pionierarbeit bei der Produktion von zirkulärem Ruß aus 100% Pyrolyseöl, das aus Altreifen gewonnen wird, geleistet hat. Diese nachhaltige Alternative zu fossilölbasiertem Ruß stellt einen bedeutenden Durchbruch in der zirkulären Fertigung dar.
Die Anerkennung resultiert aus der Teilnahme von Orion am von der EU geförderten BlackCycle-Projekt, einer von Michelin geleiteten Initiative, die sieben Industriepartner und fünf Forschungsorganisationen umfasst. Ziel des Projekts war es, innovative Prozesse zur Herstellung neuer Reifen aus Altreifen zu entwickeln.
Auf diesem Erfolg aufbauend hat Orion das 'Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekt für sauberen Ruß' ins Leben gerufen, das durch einen 6,4 Millionen Euro Zuschuss der deutschen Regierung und der Europäischen Union unterstützt wird. Diese Initiative konzentriert sich auf die Entwicklung klimaneutraler Prozesse zur Produktion von Ruß aus alternativen Kohlenstoffquellen.

“Driving circularity is part of Orion’s long-term strategy,” Orion CEO Corning Painter said. “Our customers are increasingly relying on us to provide solutions to meet the growing demand for circular products. We are scaling up our capabilities to process tire pyrolysis oil and have other innovations in our sustainability pipeline focused on cost-effective solutions.”
Orion developed the circular carbon black recognized by the Innovation Radar as a partner in the EU-funded BlackCycle project (Horizon 2020 program under grant agreement No: 869625).
The award-winning BlackCycle initiative was led by Michelin and included seven industrial partners and five research and technology organizations, with the objective to design pioneering processes to make new tires from end-of-life tires.
“Although the BlackCycle project has concluded, our innovation work continues with other initiatives with circular carbon black that involve reducing our carbon footprint, improving yield and throughput, and potentially lowering material costs,” said Natalia Scherbakoff, chief technology officer at Orion.
Last year, Orion launched its “Clean Carbon Black Research and Development Project,” funded with a
