Large scale battery factory
Northvolt is building the first large-scale battery manufacturing factory in Europe. Based in Sweden, the main production site will include active material preparation, cell assembly, recycling and auxiliaries.
Early stage
The next generation lithium-ion battery factory.
The need
The need for batteries in the power, transport and industrial sectors is becoming increasingly urgent.
The solution
Northvolt is building a next generation lithium-ion battery factory under a new concept that focuses on scale, vertical integration and highly controlled manufacturing. The execution is fundamentally different to current battery production facilities, with the aim of creating a circular supply system and using clean energy in production. The factory has a capacity of 125 MWh/year (demo line and research facility) to 32 GWh/year (main production site), with a high level of automation.
The value proposition
• Ambitious and industrialised recycling process.
• Lower cost level.
• Supporting the transition to electrification.
• Sustainable: production close to zero carbon emission.
