Large-scale & sustainable battery production

Northvolt focuses on production of lithium-ion batteries in large scale factories, with a focus on scale, vertical integration, recycling, and highly controlled manufacturing as to minimize carbon footprint. The above factors are selected as key to reduce emissions and increase market areas for lithium-ion batteries in various fields, from energy system storage to industrial applications and electric vehicles. Large scale recycling and sustainable sourcing of raw materials also reduce the environmental impact of batteries.

Bicycle-based delivery solution

We produce electrically assisted cargo vehicles for climate friendly last mile deliveries. argo bikes are superior to trucks and delivery cars in cities, in terms of environmental impact, physical footprint and personal safety. Cargo bikes weigh less, occupy less space in the street and allow better eyes-'n-ears driver interaction in traffic. Riding on bike lanes and shortcuts increases safety and gives door-to-door speed matching other vehicles in the city. The CO2 footprint savings exceed 1 kg per 10 kilometers compared to combustion engine vehicles. The energy consumption is less than 10% compared to other electric vehicles.

High Efficiency Carbon Fiber Manufacturing

We have invented the world’s fastest carbon fiber reinforced composites production process that results in a new higher standard for materials and parts, lower cost and minimal impact on the environment. Corebon is establishing carbon fiber production based on bio-based raw material, through dramatically lower energy usage, lower capex, higher throughput and increased process control. In addition, there is a 50% reduction in combustible and occupationally harmful off-gassing during the oxidation phase.

Recovery of thermal energy from buildings and industrial wastewater

Evertherm SEW is an energy recovery system with focus on sewage water. The innovation can recover approximately 95 % of the energy spent in wastewater by removing it from the sewage system and recirculating it back approximately twenty times. Thereby reintroducing heated water into different systems and increasing it’s potential. The innovation also includes control system that allows it to be integrated with digitalized properties. The carbon fiber solutions replace heavier, lower-performance materials where it benefits the customer and saves the environment.

Changing the game of recycling

Mobius Recycling wrote: Nowadays, we as humans use about 150% of the resources the world has to offer to us. Obviously, this has to change, and recycling materials in a valuable way is a crucial factor on the road to sustainability. Many business sectors, for example the textile, wood, plastics and construction industry are lacking in that department. . Our goal is to establish a global internet platform for recycling and up-cycling of secondary materials. Mobius connects companies that want to get rid of secondary materials or by-products with those that can use these materials as a resource to create something new...

Reversible textile coloring

Vividye AB wrote: Vividye provide a sustainable alternative to current printing and dyeing methods for cellulose-based textiles that allows coloring and decoloring garments at will, while maintaining the properties of the pristine fibers. Said functionality opens for many possibilities and improvements in both printing/dyeing and reusing/recycling processes, ultimately contributing to the industry’s shift towards circularity. Bringing the technology to market will optimize the use of resources in textile sourcing and production by granting an extended lifecycle of the raw material, significantly reducing water consumption and the release of chemicals into the environment...
