原标题：电池初创企业将在挪威建造超级电池工厂

中国石化新闻网讯据油价网2021年2月23日奥斯陆报道，去年在挪威创立的电池初创企业莫罗电池公司(Morrow Batteries)时下正在为在挪威建造一个超级电池工厂迈出第一步，莫罗电池公司计划在今年晚些时候在挪威开始建立电池技术工业化中心。

私人拥有的莫罗电池公司首席执行官泰耶·安德森日前在一份公司声明中表示，“莫罗电池技术工业化中心对于我们在产品开发方面的成功，以及将我们的生产活动扩大到计划中的超级电池工厂水平将是至关重要的。”

今年早些时候，莫罗电池公司与阿伦达尔市政府签署了一份意向书，将在挪威南部的阿伦达尔建造世界上最可持续的电池制造工厂。莫罗电池公司表示，下一代电池工厂的第一阶段建设将在2023年开始。

安德森在今年1月曾表示，“通过海运到欧洲的捷径，这意味着我们有一个良好的起点，为欧洲市场开发世界上最环保的电池。”

“交通运输部门和工业流程对电气化的巨大且不断增长的需求，使电池成为绿色转型的瓶颈。欧洲本土电池制造是未来可持续发展的关键，”安德森如是指出。

来自北欧地区水力发电的可再生电力吸引了其他公司进入斯堪的纳维亚地区的电池开发市场。

去年，挪威石油巨头Equinor与日本松下公司和挪威工业集团Hydro签署了一项协议，建立战略伙伴关系，探索建立可持续和具有成本竞争优势的欧洲电池业务的可能性。

去年9月份，拥有包括德国宝马和大众汽车公司在内客户的电池制造商诺斯沃特（Northvolt）筹集了6亿美元的股权投资，用于扩大产能、研发，以及在瑞典诺斯沃特超级工厂旁边建造一个超大规模的锂离子电池回收设施，后者预计今年年内开始生产电池。

Battery Start-up To Build Gigafactory In Norway

Morrow Batteries, founded in Norway last year, is taking the first steps to building a gigafactory in Norway with plans to start construction of the industrialization center for battery technology later this year.

“Morrow Industrialization Centre will be crucial to our success in product development and scaling up our activity to the level of our planned Gigafactory,” Terje Andersen, chief executive of privately held Morrow Batteries, said in a statement this week.

Earlier this year, Morrow Batteries entered into a letter of intent with the Arendal municipality to build what it says would be the world’s most sustainable battery manufacturing in Arendal in southern Norway. The first construction phase of the next-generation battery factory is set to start in 2023, the company said.

“The short way to Europe, by sea, means that we get a good starting point to develop the world’s greenest batteries to the European market,” CEO Andersen said in January.

“The big and increasing demand for electrification in the transport sector and industry processes have made batteries a bottle-neck in the green transition. Home-grown European battery manufacturing is key to a sustainable future going forward,” the executive noted.

Renewable electricity from hydropower in the Nordic region has attracted other companies to the battery development market in the Scandinavian region.

Last year, Norway’s major Equinor signed an agreement with Panasonic and industrial group Hydro to form a strategic partnership that would explore possibilities for establishing a sustainable and cost-competitive European battery business.

Battery cell maker Northvolt, which has BMW and Volkswagen as customers, raised in September $600 million in equity to invest in capacity expansion, R&D, and a giga-scale lithium-ion battery recycling facility next to the Northvolt Ett gigafactory in Sweden, which is expected to begin battery production in 2021.
