Battery technology is essential to meet Europe and Norway’s zero emission targets by 2050, helping to reduce carbon emissions in the energy and transport sectors across the continent. In Norway, strong battery research communities have flourished for over a decade, attracting growing interest from the industry.
Several companies are currently planning to build battery cell Gigafactories in Norway. Although the emerging industry is promising new ‘green’ economic growth for the oil-dependent country, it is reliant on lithium and other raw materials that are extracted elsewhere.
Norway, with its strong expertise in processing industry, has a great opportunity to take a leading role within recycling of batteries and developing new and more efficient processes for recycling of all battery materials. – Today, graphite is not recycled, and ends up as CO2-emissions.
Battery cell production is one new industry Norway is keen to enter, hoping to benefit from access to green power and proximity to European customers keen to source batteries away from China.
Investing in research, local manufacturing and secure access to materials is needed to solidify Norway’s position as a leader in sustainable batteries. Battery technology is essential to meet Europe and Norway’s zero emission targets by 2050, helping to reduce carbon emissions in the energy and transport sectors across the continent.
