Tin - A key metal for the energy transition

The global transition to renewable energies and electrified systems makes certain metals indispensable – including those that have received little attention to date. Tin, in particular, is proving to be an often overlooked key to clean energy technologies. As the "glue" of the electronics industry, tin ensures reliable electrical connections through soldering, thus forming the basis for durable and efficient energy applications. The rising demand for tin and the energy transition are closely linked, making tin an indispensable raw material for a sustainable future.

The diverse applications of tin in modern technology

Tin plays a central role in soldering materials for modern electronics, from 5G components and control systems in electric vehicles to photovoltaic modules. Our sustainable tin, with its high recycled content and low carbon footprint, is the sustainable solution for decarbonising processes while meeting the highest quality requirements.

With our tin, we contribute to the reliable supply of renewable energy projects and support companies in actively implementing the goals of the European Green Deal.

 

Photovoltaics / Solar energy

Tin alloys are used as solder joints in solar modules. They ensure stable electrical connections, high corrosion resistance and a long service life even under extreme weather conditions. This ensures the long-term efficiency of photovoltaic systems.


E-mobility

Tin alloys are essential for battery management systems, control units and power electronics in electric vehicles. They enable precise and durable soldered connections, thereby contributing to the safety and efficiency of the vehicles.


Advanced computer infrastructure

Data centres that support artificial intelligence and cloud computing require extensive electronic components. Tin alloys ensure stable connections on printed circuit boards, thereby contributing to a high-performance infrastructure.

Wind energy

In wind turbines, tin is used in power electronics, transformers and control systems. Tin-containing solders ensure reliable contacts in humid, salty environments and contribute to safe power generation.


Internet of Things (IoT)

The proliferation of connected devices is driving printed circuit board production at an unprecedented rate. Tin alloys ensure reliable solder joints, which are critical to the function and longevity of IoT devices.


Telecommunications networks & 5G

Tin solder is required in network technology, antennas and control devices for the expansion of modern telecommunications infrastructure, particularly 5G. It enables the connectivity of smart energy systems and smooth communication in networked technologies.
