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 Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment has launched work to formulate a national battery strategy that will enable Finland to strengthen its role as a pioneer in sustainable battery manufacturing and recycling. Minister of Economic Affairs Mika Lintilä appointed a working group on 24 June to prepare the strategy by the end of 2020.
GigaVaasa / Facebook Finland is placing itself at the forefront of the battery sector, boosted by recent significant investments in industrial production and green innovations. In early 2021, Finland outlined a national battery strategy aspiring to elevate its industry to pioneering status by 2025.
Finland’s battery strategy will aim to promote the sustainable use of natural resources, for example through solutions for accessing, optimising and recycling materials. The working group to prepare a national battery strategy will be chaired by Mika Nykänen, Director General of the Geological Survey of Finland.
Numerous innovations have thus emerged in Finland across various sectors to help reach these goals, yet the omnipresence of battery power in meeting the needs of wider green ambitions has placed greater emphasis on developing value chains for such that don’t drain the Earth’s resources.
Other smaller-scale battery innovations in Finland are also gathering momentum. Polar Night Energy and Vatajankoski recently teamed up to create a sand-based thermal energy storage system. In what is touted as a world first, the solution converts electricity to heat which is stored in the sand to be used in a district heating network.
