Paving the way for a cleaner future

[]

Electrification of transport and the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries require new industrial operations throughout the value chain – from mines to battery cell production. Finnish Minerals Group is developing a responsible battery value chain in Finland. At the same time, we contribute to supporting the European Green Deal, according to which Europe aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

0 million

European battery cell capacity by 2030 is estimated to be sufficient for approximately 26 million electric cars per year.

0 GWh/a

According to market research, the European battery cell capacity by 2030 will be approximately 1,300 GWh annually.

0 kt/a

European cell capacity by 2030 will require annual production of approximately 2,000 kt of cathode active material (CAM).

0 kt/a

Cathode active material (CAM) capacity by 2030 will require approximately 1,900 kt of precursor production (pCAM) annually.
