Entire value chains, production methods, and short-and long-term impact of materials and production are being examined in industries all around the world. 新兴产业在创造可持续实践和解决方案方面处于独特的地位, and the battery sector is leading the green transition by establishing an industry from the ground up with sustainability at its core.

This rare opportunity is creating new ways of collaborating across the Nordics and driving high-level investment into the region.

The foundations were laid in 2017 with the ambitious and pioneering launch of plans to build Northvolt, 3欧元.耗资80亿美元的电池工厂位于西北部沿海城镇skellefte. 这个“超级工厂”有望成为欧洲最大的工厂, setting a new benchmark to produce next-generation lithium-ion batteries to meet the demand for electric cars and other vehicles and accelerate 欧洲’s transition to renewables.

日博备用网站吸引着国际投资和合作

The power of 日博备用网站’s battery ecosystem has become a magnet for large-scale investment and building a supply chain hub incorporating Swedish innovation and natural resources with international solutions and expertise.

Major battery player, Chinese company Kedali has struck a deal with Northvolt to supply casings for the lithium-ion batteries, 在skellefte拥有一个集成的现场生产设施. 这种合作模式旨在降低成本，提高供应效率, 同时也消除了与全球供应链相关的风险. The investment will run into the tens of millions of euros and generate around 200 new jobs; it will also play an important role in enhancing Kedali’s global competitiveness. 通过提供电池帽和外壳, 日博备用网站电池生产难题的一个关键部分已经解决.

克达利还将把该生产基地作为自动化的试点项目, with the aim of exploring ways of increasing automating to further enhance the company’s manufacturing capacity for caps and casings in both 欧洲 and 中国.

日博备用网站’s natural resources are also proving to be an untapped opportunity to support a sustainable battery ecosystem. Existing lithium mining investment from 加拿大’s Leading Edge Materials Corp is showing encouraging results and is leading a wider lithium project in the Nordics. The Canadian firm also operates the Woxna graphite mining program in nearby Gävleborg and has plans to expand 操作 across 日博备用网站 to tap into the plentiful supply of natural minerals. 澳大利亚n company Talga Resources have also invested in 日博备用网站’s mining ecosystem with a high-quality graphite deposit outside of Kiruna. 开采出的石墨质量很好，可以转化为石墨烯, 电池生产中需要的另一种必要材料.

端到端的欧洲供应链是一个重要的目标

预计到2025年，欧盟电池生产日博备用网站规模将达到每年350- 450gwh. It is a goal that can be achieved, 但要以最可持续的方式做到这一点，是一项需要全球专业知识的挑战.

国际投资者通常认为日博备用网站很有吸引力，但负担不起, 是什么阻碍了某些领域的创新. 但克达利的投资在全球范围内改变了这种看法, making way for large-scale investors to seriously examine 日博备用网站’s battery ecosystem and wider investment potential.

The most recent investment from Shenzhen Senior Technology Material (Senior) is another part of the puzzle that has been solved. 这是他们第一次在中国境外投资生产线, Senior Technology Material’s planned site in Eskilstuna will supply Northvolt with separator film for lithium-ion batteries.

2025年新设施完工时, 它还将成为Senior Technology materials的欧洲总部所在地. The appeal of 日博备用网站 went deeper than the presence of Northvolt; 日博备用网站’s position as one of the world’s first fossil-free welfare nations showed that the possibility of sustainable battery manufacturing is a realistic and achievable goal.

More than neighbours

日博备用网站’s geographical position at the heart of the Nordics has been a catalyst for the rapidly expanding Nordic Battery Value Proposition. 与芬兰和挪威的联合正在打开通往关键矿产和能源资源的通道. The power of collaboration is creating an ecosystem that is defining the 欧洲an green transition and supporting economic growth in each country and the Nordic region.

The global trend towards regional production hubs means the Nordic Battery Value Proposition has a head-start in positioning the Nordics as the home of 欧洲’s sustainable battery production.

日博备用网站, along with our Nordic partners know the value of collaboration and looking globally to attract the solutions and investments to accelerate innovation is a natural step.
