Partner of the responsible battery industry
Battery industry
The battery industry is growing rapidly in Europe because it offers solutions for the mitigation of climate change and ending the use of fossil fuels. Lithium-ion batteries are required for applications such as electric cars and public transport, consumer electronics and industrial equipment.
Partner of the responsible battery industry
Finland is a good location for the battery industry because of its stable and secure society and the availability of the critical raw materials required for manufacturing lithium-ion batteries. The production chains are also transparent, and the sources of materials are traceable.
High technology expertise makes it possible to implement the entire battery value chain in Finland. Sweco offers expertise for every phase of the battery value chain, ranging from mines that produce battery minerals to chemical plants, precursor and cathode material plants and the manufacturing of batteries and battery cells.
We also help our clients meet EU-level requirements regarding the responsible recycling and reuse of battery materials in order to reduce the amount of virgin raw materials needed for batteries. Battery materials can be sourced from recycled waste materials, for example.
Being involved in research and development organisations in the industry allows us to keep up to date with EU regulations. Our shared goal is to achieve a carbon-neutral battery value chain that also takes social, environmental and corporate social responsibility into account.
Preliminary surveys and environmental permits
We help prepare the conditions required by the battery industry in many ways, from technical and economic studies and preliminary design to planning and permit processes, risk assessments and EIA procedures.
Implementation planning and project management
We take on the responsibility for implementation planning and project management in plant projects according to the client’s needs. We also offer our expertise for the planning of changes and expansions.
