In early 2021, Finland outlined a national battery strategy aspiring to elevate its industry to pioneering status by 2025. The significance of this goal is pressing: the value of the European battery market is tipped to reach 250 billion euros by that year driven by significant carbon reduction milestones looming Europe in the near future.

The energy storage battery seeing the most explosive growth is undoubtedly lithium-ion. Lithium-ion batteries are classed as a dangerous good and are toxic if incorrectly disposed of. Support for lithium-ion recycling in the present day is little better than that for disposal — in the EU, fewer than 5% of lithium-ion batteries for any

Finland support actions to recycle and repurpose batteries. In the EU, Battery Directive 2006/66/EC was initiated to and this might make the evaluation of SLBs problematic. In addition, when setting up a second-life Battery Energy Storage System of

renewable energy technologies have created a fast-growing market for energy storage and battery applications, the size of which is estimated to be 250 billion euros in 20254. The

Additionally, Finland-based Cactos raised €2.5 million ($3 million USD) to help commercialize its 100kWh energy storage system, which also uses repurposed Tesla batteries. Cactos says it gets Tesla batteries from a recycling company in Norway that breaks them down into modules and aims to ship 100 units (10MWh) of energy storage

Marcus Martinsson : We are right now establishing a logistic network, a pre-treatment network in our seven countries in order to be able to facilitate and safely concentrate recycling volumes to our industrial hub in Halmstad.

The automotive industry faces challenges because of the electrification of vehicles and the rapidly increasing need for electric vehicle batteries (EVBs). Raw materials availability is limited; however, there will also be a significant number of end-of-life (EOL) batteries. This creates various circular economy (CE) business opportunities for EVB

Image: Cameron Murray / Solar Media.

Fortum Battery Recycling has started commercial operations at its state-of-the-art hydrometallurgical battery material recycling facility in Harjavalta,

The Russian mining company Norilsk Nickel – also known as Nornickel – wants to increase production at its nickel refinery in Harjavalta, Finland. Production should increase to 100,000 tonnes per year by 2026 due to the rising demand for battery materials, especially for electric vehicles. Currently, the refinery produces 65,000 tonnes of

Fortum Battery Recycling and Hydrovolt, a Nordic battery recycler, have signed an agreement on the delivery of black mass to Fortum''s battery material recycling plant in Finland. The scope of the collaboration includes a cross-Nordic process: first, Hydrovolt mechanically recycles EV batteries at its first industrial plant in Fredrikstad,

This is Neoen''s second battery in Finland, bringing Neoen''s total storage capacity in the country to 86.4 MW / 142.9 MWh Neoen (ISIN: FR0011675362, Ticker: NEOEN), one of the world''s leading producers of exclusively renewable energy, has provided notice to proceed to battery storage expert Nidec, signalling the start of

In order to support this development, BATCircle2.0, the Finland-based circular ecosystem of battery metals, focused on battery metals mining, refining, and

Hybrid pumped hydro-BESS project takes shape in Finland. A ''new energy cluster in Finland'' plans to co-locate a 75 MW underground pumped storage hydroelectric (UPHS) facility and a 85 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) at a mine near the town of Pyhäjärvi in central Finland. A solar park could be added in the future.

Given the costs of making batteries, recycling battery materials can make sense. From the estimated 500,000 tons of batteries which could be recycled from global production in 2019, 15,000 tons of

Typical direct, pyrometallurgical, and hydrometallurgical recycling methods for recovery of Li-ion battery active materials. From top to bottom, these techniques are used by OnTo,15 Umicore,20 and Recupyl21 in their recycling processes (some steps have been omitted for brevity). Table 2.

April 28, 2023: Energy company Fortum said on April 27 it had started commercial operation of its lithium hydrometallurgical battery material recycling facility in Finland. Fortum claims the plant is the largest in Europe in terms of recycling capacity and the region''s first commercial-scale facility for hydrometallurgical recycling.
