As we touched on in our last episode with John O'Donnell of Rondo Energy, industry is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions, and it is only forecasted to get worse. According to a recent report from Rhodium Group, by 2050, the industrial sector could emit as much CO2 as the power, transportation, and building sectors combined. A term worth highlighting in this month's episode is “Hard-to-abate”. This term refers to industrial sectors like cement, petrochemicals, and steel that people have continually categorized as too costly, slow, or lacking the necessary technology to decarbonize. For this episode, our focus is on steel. Carbon emissions, air, and water pollution from steel production can be largely attributed to their use of coal-fired blast furnaces, technology created in the 14th century. There are serious challenges to altering any centuries-long established production process, but as our guest today, Henrik Henriksson, CEO of Stegra (formerly H2 Green Steel) knows, when you replace coal with renewable energy, you can produce hydrogen, iron, and steel, with significantly lower emissions.SponsorsWatt It Takes is brought to you by Microsoft.The $1 Billion Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund is investing in innovative technologies that have the potential for meaningful, measurable climate impact by 2030.

Today joining the podcast is Susanna Campbell - co-founder of Syre, and a board member of Northvolt and H2 Green Steel - all companies incubated by Vargas. Based in Sweden, Vargas has systematically created a succession of climate juggernauts from scratch. Their portfolio includes unicorns like Polarium and H2 Green Steel, and Northvolt, a climate decacorn - so worth over 10 billion dollars - which is Europe's largest gigafactory for electric vehicle batteries. At Giant we have backed the latest Vargas incubation, Syre, which aims to decarbonize the textile industry. They've launched in partnership with H&M - who have already signed a $600M offtake agreement to buy green polyester. We think Vargas is the most significant climate organisation in the world - but it's a story that has not been widely told. Today we take you behind the scenes to reveal the Vargas playbook. This episode was recorded live at our annual summit, Giant Ideas. Susanna Campbell is interviewed by Financial Times Gillian Tett. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this episode, Camilla ter Haar and Ruth Keating from 39 Essex Chambers are joined by Sarah Milne from H2 Green Steel. The Swedish start-up is building a plant in the Swedish town of Boden, just below the Arctic Circle. H2 Green Steel will produce steel, with a reduction of up to 95 percent reducing CO₂ emissions compared to traditional steelmaking – using green hydrogen. H2 Green Steel's investors include Al Gore's Just Climate fund. Sarah has spent 20 years working in the steel industry – the last two and a half with H2 Green Steel. Camilla, Ruth and Sarah discusses how steel can be made more sustainably.
Equity funding for cleantech and sustainability-focused startups saw a significant decline in the first half of 2024, allocating approximately $9.6 billion, a 61% decrease from the latter half of the previous year and a 10% drop from the same period last year. Industries related to cleantech were less affected during the post-2021 downturn compared to other sectors. Despite the drop in equity investments, debt-based project financing surged, with companies like Northvolt and H2 Green Steel securing substantial funds. Battery supply chains and recycling attracted notable investments, with Sila Nanotechnologies and Ascend Elements raising significant rounds. Electric vehicle charging and hydrogen energy ventures continued to garner interest, with investments flowing into companies like Electra, FLO, Hysata, and Koloma. However, the pace of IPOs and M&A in the cleantech sector remains slow, with some potential for a warmer exit climate next year as well-funded private companies prepare for IPOs.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

The green transition will not succeed unless industrial sectors also manage to decarbonise production processes. Sweden has experienced problems with long-term power purchase deals, with many companies facing a very tough financial environment amid price volatility and oversupply. Listen to a discussion on the lessons learnt for Europe and one company's ambitious plans to massively reduce its carbon footprint.

This episode is a part of our series on decarbonizing the roots of value chains, where we're looking deep into supply chains that serve many industries. Our prior episode explored green concrete, and today's focuses on steel. Steel production primarily relies on coal and coke, and accounts for nearly 7% of global CO2 emissions. But new technologies are on the horizon. Maria Persson Gulda, Chief Technology Officer at H2 Green Steel, joins us to discuss an innovative solution: green steel made from green hydrogen. By harnessing renewable power, H2 Green Steel is pioneering a path to drastically reduce steel's carbon footprint. Maria will also share insights into the world's largest green steel plant in Sweden H2 is building, the evolving technological landscape, and the pivotal role of initial adopters.

I det här avsnittet får du lära känna Susanna Campbell som satt Sverige på världskartan när det kommer till impact-investeringar och grön omställning. Vi får lyssna till hur det var att bli vd för investmentbolaget Ratos som 38-åring och vad som fick henne att helt ändra spår. Bland makthavare inom techsektorn har hon beskrivits som avgörande nyckelperson för satsningar såsom Norrsken, Northvolt och H2 Green Steel. Tidsskriften Veckans Affärer utnämnde henne till "Näringslivets mäktigaste kvinna" 2012 och sedan hon lämnade Ratos 2016 har hon haft en aktiv karriär som styrelseproffs, där vi exempelvis finner henne i styrelserummet hos Kinnevik och Indutrade likväl som Northvolt och H2 Green Steel. Men från att ofta ha fått frågan om när hon ska "skaffa ett riktigt jobb" vid sidan om styrelsearbete så är hon nu mer operativ än på mycket länge, det via den nya storsatsningen Syre - vilket vi självklart får veta mer om.Delikat lyssning på dig,Nicklas Hosted on Acast.

Clean energy technologies saw a record influx of investment last year: $1.7 trillion in total. But that still falls short of what's needed to meet climate goals. With venture capital investment now falling, it's increasingly difficult for startups to gain traction. Claire Curry, global head of technology, industry & innovation at BloombergNEF, follows the journeys of many young companies in the clean-tech space. On this week's Zero, Curry tells Akshat Rathi about the kinds of innovative pathways that have proven successful. LanzaTech, for example, a nine-year-old carbon recycling technology company, works with Chinese steel companies looking for low-emissions solutions. H2 Green Steel also scaled quickly, in part through agreements reached with Mercedes Benz, IKEA and other big brands looking to access low-carbon steel. Curry explains how these approaches could be replicated by other startups. Listen to Zero's episode about green-iron startup Electra.

I det här avsnittet får du lära känna riskkapitalisten och företagsbyggaren Harald Mix. I media omnämns han ofta som riskkapitalist och miljardär men vill egentligen hellre beskriva sig som passionerad företagsbyggare och entreprenör. Med bas i riskkapitalbolaget Altor, där han är vd, och investmentbolaget Vargas, där han är ordförande, har han siktet inställt på värdeskapande. Ett personligt mål är dessutom att sänka de globala utsläppten av växthusgaser med 1%. Ett mål som tänt gnistan för den gröna industriella revolutionen i Norrland.Vi får höra om hans karriär fram till idag, vikten av riskkapitalet som motor i samhällsekonomin, hur han var med och grundade Altor och sedermera Vargas och vad som skiljer dem åt. Dessutom blir det såklart en del frågor kring Carnegie som han var med och köpte från staten 2009 tillsammans med Bure och hur han ser på satsningen Montrose by Carnegie.Sist men inte minst pratar vi självklart om Aira, Syre, H2 Green Steel, Northvolt, styrelsearbetet i Kinnevik och mycket mer.

Julia has been thinking about how to sell before you build after hearing Harald Mix's comment at Breakit Funding Day where he spoke about how they built Northvolt and H2 Green Steel, and Andreas has dug deeper into when it does NOT work. They end up speaking about how much you need to build before you start selling, what you should never focus on before you start selling and when “sell before you build” doesn't really apply.

This conversation with Petros Lekkakis explores the concept of 'first of a kind' (FOAK) in the climate tech space, which refers to hard asset companies developing technologies at the demonstration or pilot scale and seeking to deploy their first commercial minimum viable product. The discussion highlights the importance of FOAK technologies in achieving net-zero targets and the need for collaboration between venture capital and infrastructure investors to bridge the financing gap. Key players in early infrastructure financing include venture capital firms, concessionary capital providers, growth equity investors, strategic players, government agencies, and multilaterals. The conversation also addresses the knowledge gap in commercializing technologies and the role of specialized funds in providing the necessary expertise and capital to support early infrastructure projects. Two case studies, H2 Green Steel and Infinium, highlight the importance of securing long-term contracts and off-takes to de-risk projects and attract capital. Learnings from the financing markets of solar and LNG provide insights into risk mitigation, project structuring, and the importance of standardization. The episode concludes with a startup checklist that includes team building, contract finance, tech demonstration, focus on FOAK projects, pipeline development, strategic interest, and a solid business plan.

Ottawa investit 150 millions $ dans l'expansion du port de MontréalCet investissement doit financer la construction d'un terminal pour conteneurs sur un terrain du Port de Montréal à Contrecœur, en Montérégie.Il s'ajoute aux 300 millions $ de prêts de la Banque de l'infrastructure du Canada annoncés en 2019 pour ce projet par le gouvernement fédéral. Éric Duhaime envisage la construction de 3 ponts vers l'île d'OrléansLe chef du Parti conservateur du Québec a réitéré sa proposition des dernières élections: construire un pont autoroutier à 6 voies entre l'Île d'Orléans et la Rive-Sud, au nord-est de Lévis.Ce pont rejoindrait un nouveau pont à 2 voies dont la construction est en cours entre l'île et la Rive-Nord, pour remplacer l'ancien pont de l'Île d'Orléans. Selon Éric Duhaime, le gouvernement devrait se décider rapidement pour ajouter des voies à ce pont en construction, ou alors construire un 3e pont juste à côté.Québec ne compte pas abaisser la limite d'alcool permise au volantDe janvier à juin, il y a eu près de 8000 vols de véhicules au Québec, soit 17% de plus qu'à la même période l'an dernier.

You may have heard of green hydrogen before on this show, but what about green steel? Well, in order to get one, you can use the other. That's according to the company H2 Green Steel, which is in the process of building a plant in Sweden using hydroelectric power to produce green hydrogen that will then be used to heat the ore in its steel ovens. The plant could be up and running by the end of 2025 with the aim of cleaning up an industry that's responsible for more than 7% of global CO2 emissions. Joining Julia to discuss is H2 Green Steel CEO Henrik Henriksson. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
Dagens ledare i Aftonbladet satte väl punkt för den blaskan en gång för alla... Av Noor Karim Staten och kapitalet sitter INTE i samma båt LEDARE Under våren har kritiken mot regeringens klimatpolitik inte varit nådig. Forskare har underkänt politiken och regeringens egna klimatpolitiska råd skakar på huvudet. Det duger inte. Nu när Greta Thunberg slutat klimatstrejka får andra ta vid. Jacob Wallenberg hörde sitt kall. – Det är näringslivet som faktiskt kan genomföra den gröna omställningen, säger Jacob Wallenberg i Dagens Industri. I intervjun får han bre ut sig om vad han som Svenskt Näringslivs ordförande anser är landets utmaningar. Klimat och energi är hans hjärtefrågor. Där finns det många problem man behöver ta itu med. Om politiken ville och lade i en högre växel, vill säga. Regeringen har tappat styrfarten. Därför borde näringslivet ta vid, menar han. Det är där pengarna finns och så även visionerna och handlingskraften. Wallenberg ser såklart en vinning på att ställa om både på ett personligt plan men också för att Sverige ska fortsatt vara konkurrenskraftigt. Han är less på att vänta. Politiken gör inte tillräckligt. De är till och med bromsklossar till utvecklingen. Om han fick bestämma hade staten byggt både höghastighetståg till södra Sverige och tåg till Oslo. Även en stabil elförsörjning. Men dessa planer har regeringen stoppat eller skjutit på framtiden. Energiförsörjningen är en annan fråga som man tänkt ska lösas i framtiden. Wallenberg får ta en kölapp. För han är inte ensam i sågningen. Lång kö I valrörelsen skrev 227 företag under en artikel för att politiker skulle ställa om och ställa krav. De krävde en poltik som ökar takten i omställningen för att tiden rinner ut. Bland kritiker är industriarbetsgivarna rädda för att Tidöavtalet bromsar industriomställningen i norr. Inte heller LKAB är imponerade av den klimat- och energipolitik som regeringen för. Till och med företaget H2 Green Steel planerar för ett eget vindkraftverk för att klara elbehovet. I höst ska regeringen presentera en klimatpolitisk handlingsplan, men vad den ska innehålla är än så länge högst oklart. Som Rominas Pourmokhtaris valslogan, snodd av Miljöpartiet, lydde förra sommaren: Klimatet kan inte vänta. Det kan inte näringslivet heller. De verkar ta taktpinnen när regeringen sitter på avbytarbänken..." Den miljövänliga försvarsindustrin går desto bättre har vi hört. #CarlNorberg #DeFria De Fria är en folkrörelse som jobbar för demokrati genom en upplyst och medveten befolkning!

In episode 171, Green steel is becoming a hyper buzzword in the hydrogen market. Today we'll discuss how one Swedish steel company has made the switch to hydrogen, and how that could affect all other steel manufacturers around the world. All this on today's hydrogen podcast.
Steel is responsible for 8% of global co2 each year, and contributes as much as 40% of all industrial co2. Listen in to hear Kajsa Ryttberg-Wallgren's insights into the at-scale green steel project she's tasked with and the potential for transforming the global steel value chain. With every ton of steel emitting (on average) 1.85 tons of co2, the industry contributes around 8% of co2 globally. It's also one of our most essential materials used across all developed and developing nations for infrastructure and construction projects and is inextricably linked to economic growth. Listen to Alex's conversation with Kajsa Ryttberg-Wallgren, EVP of the Hydrogen Business Unit at H2 Green Steel. Taking “the world doesn't need another pilot” as a starting point, the conversation explores the company's at-scale first project in Sweden and its emerging international portfolio, all of which focuses on reducing emissions from steel by 95% and will be producing 5m tonnes of green steel a year by 2030. Other takeaways include exploring the reality of creating a green steel project when you have no legacy business, the need to fight for the best talent and where they've found it, along with thoughts on selecting and collaborating with the right partners for your model. You'll also get the opportunity to hear from Kajsa on disrupting the future global steel supply chain. The acceleration of their plans has been made possible by the support H2 Green Steel it has received from leading financial institutions for its €3.5 billion debt financing, just confirmed in October 2022. Construction of its green steel plant will be enabled by a combination of equity and debt financing from organisations including AB Svensk Exportkredit (SEK), BNP Paribas, ING, UniCredit, Societe Generale and KfW IPEX-Bank. More institutions are finalising their involvement, including the European Investment Bank.

Heute: Runde von H2 Green Steel und allgemeiner Blick auf Cherry Ventures und den Markt In der Rubrik “Investments & Exits” begrüßen wir heute Carlo Schmid, Principal bei Cherry Ventures. Carlo hat die Runde von H2 Green Steel und einen allgemeinen Blick auf Cherry Ventures und den Markt geworfen. H2 Green Steel, ein in Stockholm, Schweden, ansässiges KlimaTech, hat eine Eigenkapitalfinanzierung in Höhe von 260 Millionen Euro erhalten. Die Runde wurde von AMF, GIC und Schaeffler angeführt, mit Beteiligung von Altor. Zusätzlich zu den bereits gemeldeten Investitionen von Hitachi Energy und Kobe Steel kommen mit dem Abschluss der Runde neue Anteilseigner hinzu: die schwedische Investmentgesellschaft Kinnevik und ein auf den Klimaschutz fokussierter institutioneller Investmentfonds. H2 Green Steel schloss erst seine Series-A-Eigenkapitalrunde in Höhe von 86 Millionen Euro im Mai 2021 ab und kündigte den ersten Abschluss seiner Series-B-Runde in Höhe von 190 Millionen Euro im August 2022 an. Das Unternehmen beabsichtigt, die Mittel für die Entwicklung seines groß angelegten Werks für grünen Stahl in Nordschweden zu verwenden.
Green hydrogen and fuel cells will be a very important part of any future energy system, says Switzerland-based energy and sustainability consultancy strategist Dr David Hart. Among the electrolysers that convert renewable electricity into green hydrogen are proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers, with PEM fuel cells then converting the green hydrogen back into green electricity for mobility and stationary power. Both technologies are reliant on platinum group metals (PGMs), which are sourced overwhelmingly from South Africa. Hart, who was speaking to Engineering News & Mining Weekly in a Zoom interview, leads the green hydrogen and fuel cell work of E4tech, which is part of the 40-country, 160-office ERM Group of Companies. (Also watch attached Creamer Media video.) Without large amounts of hydrogen, it is very hard to see how the world will meet any of its climate targets, says Hart. “We will see companies which are facing almost an existential carbon problem make use of green hydrogen. The steel industry, for example, is one of those where we've already started to see green steelmaking come in – and green steelmaking means more direct electricity, but it also means more hydrogen in the mix,” Hart points out. The latest edition of The Economist reports that Europe is about to get its first new steel mill in nearly half a century in Boden, a Swedish town near the Arctic Circle, where steelmaking start-up H2 Green Steel is on the way to employing 1 800 people in its new mill that will use green hydrogen produced on site by the region's abundant wind and hydropower endowment. “The project matters far beyond the sparsely populated northern Sweden. The consequences could be momentous for the continent's producers of steel and other basic materials, such as cement and chemicals,” the London publication adds. Hart includes Africa in the other parts of the world where it makes probable sense to go to green hydrogen very early on. SOUTH KOREA'S LEGAL FRAMEWORK By putting green hydrogen into a legal framework, South Korea is the country furthest advanced legislatively, with the East Asian nation also deploying an increasing number of hydrogen-powered mobile and stationary electricity-generating fuel cells. "In general, governments are approaching the hydrogen economy in different ways, and if one talks to the corporations and others in the industry, there is still a bit of grumbling about the sufficiency of the type of regulation that is being put in place – and that's because regulation has typically been designed for a legacy energy system, which doesn't always fit exactly with a world which is much more about renewable electricity, intermittency, the need for other types of storage, and the need for hydrogen not only for energy, but also for chemicals and for other types of support. “So, there's still work to do in allowing the regulatory frameworks to operate in the best way to support green hydrogen and to support fuel cells, but there's definitely a lot of progress and a lot of interest,” says Hart. Regarding the extent to which global corporations are positioning themselves to best effect in the development of green hydrogen and fuel cell technology, Hart sees a mix of traditional energy companies figuring out how green hydrogen and fuel cells fit into their supply chain, and prominent component manufacturers and start-ups engaging strongly in electrolyser and fuel cell development. There are automotive companies that are looking very hard at becoming electrolyser component producers, rather than producing only internal combustion engines (ICEs) or components for ICEs. Geopolitical circumstances and net-zero requirements are boosting demand, along with insurance advisers and board members pointing out the need to include green hydrogen and fuel cells to meet net-zero commitments. Regarding renewables, he says: “The nice thing that we have seen in the past is that all of the forecasts about the rollout of renewables hav...
Just nu ser vi en historisk satsning på Norrland med aviserade investeringar på närmare 1100 miljarder. Många pratar om en historisk satsning som närmast kan jämföras med industrialiseringen i Sverige under mitten av 1800-talet. En aktör är H2 Green Steel som har etablerat sig i Boden och vill realisera ett av Sveriges största industriprojekt någonsin - nämligen genom att bygga en helt modern stålanläggning där man avser producera nästan fossilfritt stål med hjälp av vätgas. I avsnittet får vi lära oss mer om bolaget, den omställning vi nu ser, vilka kunderna är, hur de ska klara energiförsörjningen likväl som kompetensförsörjningen, framtidsutsikterna, om den nödvändiga infrastrukturen är på plats, vad bodensarna frågar mest om och mycket mycket mer. Delikat lyssning på er, Johanna & Nicklas

Yritykset investoivat miljardeja Pohjois-Ruotsiin. Työpaikkoja riittää, mutta työntekijöistä on huutava pula. "Se on sellainen industriell boom. Se on vähä sama juttu kun meidän vanhemmat tulivat tänne 50 vuotta sitten työn takia", sanoo Helsingborgista Skellefteåån muuttanut Léa Montin. Monet yritykset investoivat miljardeja Pohjois-Ruotsin hankkeisiin, mutta työntekijöistä on pulaa.Miljardien kruunujen arvoisia projekteja on käynnissä monilla paikkakunnilla Uumajan ja Kiirunan välillä, ja yrityskartalta löytyy suuria teollisuusnimiä kuten LKAB, Svevind, H2 Green Steel, SSAB ja Vattenfall."Vaikea sanoa, kuinka se tulee muuttumaan, mutta ainakin se on varma että täällä tulee muuttumaan asiat", sanoo seudulla syntynyt ja kasvanut konsultti Markus Fältö Kangastie.Ohjelma on osa Sveriges Radio Finskan sarjaa Arjen kuvia vaalivuotena 2022."Det är en industriell boom, och det liknar det som våra föräldrar upplevde för 50 år sen när de flyttade från Finland till Sverige för att arbeta". Så beskriver Léa Montin norra Sveriges situation just nu.

Vid årsskiftet startar produktionen i den nya stora batterifabriken i Skellefteå och i Boden tar den nya förnybara stålindustrin form. Men hur har det gått med rekryteringen av anställda? Efter olyckan utanför Ystad i natt där två lastfartyg krockade har en person hittats död och en person saknas fortfarande. Hur kan lastfartyg krocka med den typen av moderna utrustning skeppen har? Vad är det som kan ha gått fel? Vi ringer upp Björn Pundars, prefekt vid Sjöfartshögskolan i Kalmar.De nya förnybara stålindustrierna Hybrit i Gällivare och H2 Green Steel i Boden tillsammans med den nya batterifabriken Northvolt i Skellefteå kommer kräva att tusentals nyanställda måste flytta norrut. I Skellefteå drar produktionen av battericeller igång redan vid årsskiftet. Kommer Northvolt hinna anställa tillräckligt med folk? Hur hittar man folk och var kommer det ifrån? Vi gästas av Anders Thor, ansvarig för samhällsfrågor på Northvolt. Syns industrialiseringen redan nu i flyttströmmarna? Hur får man människor att flytta? Vi frågar Charlotta Melander, professor i nationalekonomi vid Handelshögskolan i Jönköping.Tysklands nya förbundskansler Olaf Scholz och hans regering tog nyligen över styret i Tyskland. I deras regeringsprogram finns omfattande satsningar till att modernisera Tyskland, bland annat att sänka rösträttsåldern och att legalisera cannabis. Hur ser förslaget att legalisera cannabis ut och hur har tyskarna reagerat på det? Vad krävs för att förslaget ska gå igenom?

TESLA SUPERCHARGING NETWORK TO TRIPLE Drew Baglino, Tesla's senior vice president of powertrain and battery engineering: "On the Supercharger side, the supercharging team monitors congestion and plans expansion to ensure customer experience with minimal wait times alongside the growth in our vehicle fleet. While we certainly have work to do in expanding capacity in some congested areas, average congestion on the network has decreased over the past 18 months. Nonetheless, we're not standing still. We are executing on accelerating expansion plans globally. The network has doubled in the last 18 months, and we are planning to triple it over the next two years. And even so on an individual-site basis to combat existing congestion more quickly where it is isolated and problematic, we expedite local relief sites, deploy mobile Superchargers, and we try to introduce pricing strategies that encourage more off-peak usage to avoid the waiting." There are 29,281 Superchargers and 3,254 locations worldwide. TESLA'S DRIVING DATA STORAGE SYSTEM HACKED BY DUTCH INVESTIGATORS "A team of Dutch forensic researchers have decrypted Tesla's data storage system, providing access to a trove of information that could be useful in crash investigations. (The news was first reported by Reuters.) It's no secret that Tesla records information about its customers' driving behavior, both to improve its advanced driver assistance system, Autopilot, and also in the event of a crash, to provide to investigators." says The Verge: "Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) discovered that Tesla's vehicles store far more detailed data than previously known, including speed, accelerator pedal position, steering wheel angle, and brake usage. Some of this data can be stored for up to a year, the institute said. The team was investigating a crash involving a Tesla with Autopilot in use that had rear-ended another vehicle after it braked unexpectedly. Rather than seek the data from Tesla, the Dutch investigators chose to “reverse engineer” the company's data logs in order to “objectively” assess them. The NFI said that even though Tesla has complied with data requests from the government in the past, the company also left out a lot of data that could have proven useful."

The agency is carrying out some consultations again to address concerns that the earlier process did not comply with regulations. There were also concerns that citizens were not given enough information that the consultation would be digital. Objections submitted in the previous round will still be valid. The fresh consultation could further delay the production start at the Gigafactory Berlin."

The direct reduction of the iron ore produces almost no carbon with water the emission and will be used in BMW's manufacturing operations from 2025. In addition to this, BMW and H2 Green Steel have also agreed to create a closed-loop material cycle. Raw materials can then be used multiple times in a circular economy to protect natural resources."

Pratt's comments, during a discussion on electric vehicles, appeared to amplify remarks made over the past year by Toyota President Akio Toyoda." reports Reuters: "Toyoda and other company officials have said that electric vehicles will play a greater role in reducing emissions, but other solutions should be used, Toyota's gasoline-electric hybrid models or hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles." Reuters adds: "Toyota was among major automakers that supported the Trump administration in its attempt to bar California from setting its own zero-emission requirements" Gill Pratt said: "It's not for us to predict which solution is the best."

The new 11-cubic metre vans are based on the Stellantis platform for Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Vauxhall and Toyota vehicles." reports electrive: "As with the well-known Voltia models based on the Nissan e-NV 200, the Slovakian specialist's conversions only affect the body, specifically the load compartment. While the Stellantis models and the Toyota are offered in three vehicle lengths (4.60 metres, 4.95 metres and 5.30 metres), Voltia uses only the 5.30-metre version. Voltia specifies a range of 280 kilometres for the large and 190 kilometres for the small battery. For the intended use, which is mainly in last-mile delivery, these values are sufficient. For AC charging, Voltia will offer both the 7.4 kW charger and the three-phase onboard charger with 11 kW."

"A new study by Professor Yan Wang and a research team from the US Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC), in partnership with battery company A123 Systems, has found that batteries with recycled cathodes are as good as, or even better than brand new ones." says The NExt Web: "The recycled material ended up having a more microscopic porous structure, which makes it easier for lithium ions to slip in and out. According to the research, the new structure produced some amazing results: the batteries displayed the same energy density to those made with commercial cathodes, and showed a longer life by a whopping 53%. This makes it difficult to argue that batteries with recycled cathodes will leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere, calling for road assistance."

Batterientreprenören Stefan Jansson har i dolda utvecklat energilagringsföretaget Polarium till ett miljardbolag. Nu hägrar kanske en börsnotering och en snabbare global expansion av verksamheten. Att sälja energilagring som tjänst har visat sig ligga rätt i tiden. I det här avsnittet pratar vi med Stefan om varför han ängnat i stort sett hela sitt yrkesliv åt batteriteknik.Hur det kommer sig att Polarium har Vargas Holding som delägare. Vargas Holding är ju drivande kraften bakom Northvolt och H2 Green Steel. Vi diskuterar fördelarna med att ersätta blybatterier med litiumbatterier när det kommer till reservkraft för exempelvis basstationer. Vi tar oss igenom Polariums tillverkningsprocedur och hur intresset för tekniken ökat år för år.Utmaningarna och svårigheterna att bygga lätta och effektiva system för energilagring.Vi hinner även med en framtidspaning där Stefan ger sin syn på batteriutvecklingen kommande 5 till 10 år.Och mycket mera såklart.

Var kommer dessa pengar ifrån? ...Vilken är den enskilt största utmaningen i omställningen?...Vad Jan Moström anser om att börsnotera en verksamhet som LKAB som kräver enorm långsiktighet och mycket kapital....Vilken roll har LKAB i övergången fossilfri produktion av stål och vad konkurrensen från H2 Green Steel innebär...Hur LKABs behov av mer digitalisering (ai, robotik, självkörande fordon, mm) ser ut kommande år.och mycket mera.

Långfredag till trots. I avsnitt 55 av Skogsfredag så pratar vi om hur du borde få tusen kronor kubiken nu, att Google gillar KL-trä och vi borde vara glada över det. Dessutom pratar vi aprilskämt från igår och att grönt stål kan bli en tuff konkurrent för skogen men kanske kan det hjälpa oss?
