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.
European battery cell capacity by 2030 is estimated to be sufficient for approximately 15 million electric cars per year.
According to market research, the European battery cell capacity by 2030 will be approximately 1,000 GWh annually.
European cell capacity by 2030 will require annual production of approximately 1,600 kt of cathode active material (CAM).
Cathode active material (CAM) capacity by 2030 will require approximately 1,500 kt of precursor production (pCAM) annually.
Finnish Minerals Group 10 years
10 years ago the Finnish state established a special-purpose company to build a new growth-creating industrial sector for Finland. Thanks to this far-sighted decision, a developing critical materials value chain and world-class production facilities have emerged in Finland. Read CEO Matti Hietanen's anniversary interview.
