Swedish Company Launches Factory for Sustainable Zinc-Ion Batteries with Plans for Expansion in Europe

The text discusses the development and production of Zinc Ion Batteries, emphasizing their safety, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness compared to lithium batteries. The company is setting up a factory in Stockholm with plans for large-scale battery production aimed at energy storage rather than electric vehicles. They highlight that these batteries are safer because they cannot catch fire or cause thermal runaway, making them easier to handle and transport without needing dangerous goods declarations. The raw materials used—zinc and manganese—are abundant in Sweden and offer stable pricing advantages over volatile lithium prices. Additionally, the manufacturing process involves dry electrode coating which reduces energy consumption significantly by eliminating the need for wet or dry rooms during production; this makes scaling up simpler as well. Currently building a facility capable of producing 100 megawatt-hours annually—with future expansion planned—the company invites interested parties to learn more about their innovative approach at booth B0-120.
