Scaling up for a sustainable battery value chain 2026

This call for proposals finances projects that will further develop and scale up solutions that, after implementation, can contribute to a sustainable battery value chain in Sweden. Through support for testing and demonstration in a real environment, we want to promote industrial implementation. There are several initiatives underway to develop a Swedish sustainable battery value chain. Many of them are in relatively early stages of development. With the right conditions, they can grow into pilot and demonstration projects and be converted into industrial solutions. Scaling up and testing concepts in a real environment is an important prerequisite for minimizing risks, creating a basis for acceptance and promoting the commercialization of sustainable solutions that contribute to climate transition.
