???? 據油價網2021年2月23日奧斯陸報道，去年在挪威創立的電池初創企業莫羅電池公司(Morrow Batteries)時下正在為在挪威建造一個超級電池工廠邁出第一步，莫羅電池公司計劃在今年晚些時候在挪威開始建立電池技術工業化中心。

????私人擁有的莫羅電池公司首席執行官泰耶·安德森日前在一份公司聲明中表示，“莫羅電池技術工業化中心對于我們在產品開發方面的成功，以及將我們的生產活動擴大到計劃中的超級電池工廠水平將是至關重要的。”

????今年早些時候，莫羅電池公司與阿倫達爾市政府簽署了一份意向書，將在挪威南部的阿倫達爾建造世界上最可持續的電池制造工廠。莫羅電池公司表示，下一代電池工廠的第一階段建設將在2023年開始。

????安德森在今年1月曾表示，“通過海運到歐洲的捷徑，這意味著我們有一個良好的起點，為歐洲市場開發世界上最環保的電池。”

????“交通運輸部門和工業流程對電氣化的巨大且不斷增長的需求，使電池成為綠色轉型的瓶頸。歐洲本土電池制造是未來可持續發展的關鍵，”安德森如是指出。

????來自北歐地區水力發電的可再生電力吸引了其他公司進入斯堪的納維亞地區的電池開發市場。

????去年，挪威石油巨頭Equinor與日本松下公司和挪威工業集團Hydro簽署了一項協議，建立戰略伙伴關系，探索建立可持續和具有成本競爭優勢的歐洲電池業務的可能性。

????去年9月份，擁有包括德國寶馬和大眾汽車公司在內客戶的電池制造商諾斯沃特（Northvolt）籌集了6億美元的股權投資，用于擴大產能、研發，以及在瑞典諾斯沃特超級工廠旁邊建造一個超大規模的鋰離子電池回收設施，后者預計今年年內開始生產電池。

????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.
