The Nordic Battery Collaboration is a key initiative. The decision to carry out this report was taken by Business Sweden, Business Finland, Innovation Norway and the Swedish Energy Agency together. All parties are financing the report. The report is conducted by Business Sweden.
The overall aim of this project is to promote the Nordic countries as a forerunner region in demanding and using sustainable design of batteries for consumer electronics and the transport sector, and to identify key opportunities, barriers and challenges in the transition towards a more sustainable use of battery technologies.
Actors within the Nordic battery ecosystem are active on global markets with strong ambitions and devotion to sustainability. The European context is decisive for business as Europe and the EU is the main region for Nordic trade and investments.
In 2021 the Swedish Energy Agency and Business Sweden published two reports* concluding the complementary strengths within the Nordic battery value chain, a strong momentum for industry potential, a shared interest in joint trade and investment promotion as well as a need for coordinated actions.
As a battery region, the Nordics have become a notable actor in the broader European battery market. They have also joined forces on global projects, such as the export of energy storage systems to Egypt and Lebanon. “The rest of the world understands that Norway is an important player in all things battery.
The new battery industry is established at a time when markets and economies are in a green transition driven by climate goals and electrification. In the Nordics, the Nordic Council of Ministers has set out its vision to become the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030.

Sodium-ion batteries: New opportunities beyond energy storage by lithium
The history of sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) backs to the early days of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) before commercial consideration of LIB, but sodium charge carrier lost the competition to its lithium rival because of better choices of intercalation materials for Li. During the 1960s, various electrochemical reactions were utilised for designing batteries, but most of …
