What is batteries from Finland?

Batteries from Finland -project is enhancing the growth of knowledge basis and global competitiveness along the entire battery value chain –from raw material production to battery cell production, battery applications and recycling. The study was commissioned by Business Finland and jointly executed by Gaia Consulting and Spinverse.

How can Finland improve its battery industry?

The know-how that Finland has on developing industrial products used in harsh environmental conditions, such as marine and heavy-duty equipment and vehicles, should be leveraged in the area of batteries. Digitalization should be used as a tool to take a systemic and data driven approach to ensure competitiveness.

What is NCMA battery chemistry?

And here is where the new NCMA (nickel-cobalt-manganese-aluminum) battery chemistry, described in the same 2019 article, offers an advantage: it allows for raising the nickel content to about 90%, but without sacrificing battery longevity that much. NCMA technology is championed by LG Energy Solution, formerly part of LG Chem.

Is NCMA a new chemistry?

NCMA technology is championed by LG Energy Solution, formerly part of LG Chem. SK Innovation, their competitor, seems to disagree that this new chemistry is required. They developed a 90% nickel battery which is still an NMC battery (proportions 9 : 0.5 : 0.5). And Samsung’s “Gen 5” battery is NCA (yes, NCA) but also close to 90% nickel content.
