The Swedish battery producer Northvolt recently announced a state-of-the-art sodium-ion battery, developed for the expansion of cost-efficient and sustainable energy storage systems worldwide.  

The cell has been validated for a best-in-class energy density of over 160 watt-hours per kilogram, and is free from lithium, nickel, cobalt and graphite.  

The low cost and safety at high temperatures make the technology especially attractive for energy storage solutions in upcoming markets including India, the Middle East and Africa.  

Additionally, the technology can be produced with locally sourced materials, providing a unique pathway for developing new regional battery manufacturing capacity entirely independent of traditional battery value chains. 

Meet Northvolt CEO Peter Carlsson as he presents the new technology and it’s possibilities for an intensified electrification and expansion of fossil-free energy on a global level.
