800-mn-euro battery factory to be built in Finland
A Chinese-Finnish company announced Thursday it would begin building a battery materials plant in Finland in April, the first of its kind in the Nordic country.
Yet the European Commission estimates that global lithium demand could increase 18-fold during the 2020s due to rapid EV adoption. This makes Finland's role highly significant, as few other European countries have the same scale of deposits or resources. Disclaimer: This article provides factual industry context only.
But Kaustinen is not the only significant lithium deposit in Finland. Although it is the richest in Europe, there are also many important deposits in the Ostrobothnia region. Why does this matter? Currently, there is no active large-scale lithium mining in Europe.
Even more staggering is that large-scale production in Kaustinen could account for around 5% of global lithium production, according to Keliber—just from a single mine. So what exactly is Keliber? It's a Finnish mining and battery chemical company responsible for lithium production in Kaustinen.
