Hydrovolt, a joint venture of Northvolt and Hydro, has begun commercial operation at its battery recycling plant in Norway.
a joint venture which has constructed the largest battery recycling facility in Europe. Located in Fredrikstad in southern Norway, the Hydrovolt factory is now in commercial operation and expects to recycle 12,000 tons of depleted batteries a year initially, rising to 70,000 tons by 2025 and 300,000 tons by 2030. 12,000 tons is enough to handle all depleted batteries from electric vehicles on the road in Norway today.
It will be further refined into battery grade material at the company’ s Revolt Ett recycling plant in Skellefteå, Sweden. By 2025, Hydrovolt expects to produce over 2,000 tons of black mass annually. The aluminum recovered by Hydrovolt will be delivered to Hydro for inclusion into commercial grade aluminum products.
Arvid Moss, executive vice president of Hydro, added, “Batteries play a key role in the world’s transition to renewable energy. Through Hydrovolt, we are laying the foundations for a sustainable and circular supply chain for batteries in Europe. Batteries reaching end-of-life will get a new life through the recovery of black mass and aluminium.
