Northvolt to bring sodium-ion batteries to European market

Northvolt has announced it will manufacture sodium-ion batteries for static energy storage in Europe. The development comes much sooner than most industry observers expected to see this technology.

The Swedish battery maker emphasised that the cells will be free from lithium, nickel, cobalt and graphite. Northvolt said its battery would also be safer and more cost-effective than lithium-ion batteries.
