Fascinating!! Most people would never know how or suspect what silicone really is and how it’s processed to make everyday useful items. Or how it’s used in quantum computers. This is alchemy science!

Yes, all oxygen atoms removed from the silicon dioxide eventually create carbon dioxide. However, WACKER avoids carbon dioxide during the production process by using hydroelectric power. We also strive to capture carbon dioxide and to convert it to compounds. These can ideally be integrated into our supply chain. And finally: the products we manufacture from silicon metall - polycrystalline silicon for solar cells and silicones -- save a lot of CO2, too. This and many other steps will bring WACKER to carbon neutrality in 2050. Want to know more?

Cool I never knew sand was so useful
What about the environmental side of things? How have they advanced in recent years..?

Fascinating! I'd love to see the fractional distillation process from inside the towers!! A fiber optic camera maybe?
is silicone used for implant?

Cooking silicone is awesome.
Wow! thank you for helping me visualise this so well!
Thanks for your feedback 😊
So when they extract the oxygen do they go to the trouble of releasing it as oxygen or does it just get turned into more carbon dioxide? 🤔
