Business Finland's recent release on Finland's national battery strategy, featuring the research of life-cycle assessment of battery recycling, attracted a lot of international coverage. Take a look!
One of the key elements of a sustainable and competitive battery ecosystem is recycling and Finland has been chosen to coordinate the European battery industry's research on the topic.
Finland is trying to find more sustainable and efficient ways to produce lithium. There are reserves in Europe, but often, the obstacle is opposition to mining or poor profitability.
The planned pCAM and CAM factories would generate thousands of jobs in the Kymenlaakso region, enough to drain local supply of workforce.
Finland holds critical raw materials to be mined, refined or recycled according to EU's interests. Article in Finnish.
The need for mines has increased with the electrification of vehicles and the shift to green energy sources. Article in Finnish.
