Sweden Northvolt Li-ion present and future production in Skelleftea industrial site (Avicenne Energy, 2022). There is also a big interest in batteries in the scientific community. The publications of research articles in the 2000-2020 period shows an exponential increase in studies (Ma et al., 2021).
But as the battery industry develops and grows in many countries simultaneously, investors, materials, and expertise become scarce. If Sweden is to succeed in the battery field, competence will be required from both Sweden and the rest of the world.
Regarding the projects where the main battery technology can be identified, LIB dominate Swedish Energy Agency’s total budget, external budget and number of projects. However, it is possible to see how promising the options of Li-S, organic, SupCap and Na-ion are, since many projects are focusing on these technologies.
The questions regarding which the battery technologies that is being developed in Sweden lie within the technical dimension. The question concerning which parts of the value chain that is covered by research funding is also a part of the technical dimension.
Sweden is rich in minerals and the leading mining nation in Europe. Demand for batteries in electrical vehicles is surging, which leads to growing interests from foreign companies to explore Swedish lithium deposits.
However, it should be noticed that while the Swedish Energy Agency is the main funder of battery research in Sweden, its database does not cover all battery funding received in Sweden. For example, the European Union also funds research projects focusing on battery research, which are not included in this study.
