Stora Enso and Shanshan Technology partner to develop sustainable battery materials
Published
Finnish forest company Stora Enso and Chinese battery materials manufacturer Shanshan Technology have agreed on a partnership. The aim of the cooperation is to accelerate the development of sustainable battery materials. The companies also want to promote more sustainable anode materials, which are used in batteries for electric vehicles and other devices.
Stora Enso has developed an anode material called Lignode. It is made from lignin, a natural substance found in wood. Lignin is produced as a by-product of pulp and paper manufacturing. The anode is the part of a battery that stores electrical energy during charging. Developing the Lignode material has been an important project for Stora Enso in the field of battery technology.
Through the cooperation, the companies can combine Stora Enso's forest expertise with Shanshan Technology's production experience. The goal is to move development work more quickly towards production. In this way, the companies aim to meet growing demand for sustainable battery materials as the battery industry expands globally.
The cooperation shows that by-products of the forest industry can be utilised in new kinds of technologies. From Finland's perspective, the project is significant because it is linked to the development work of a Finnish company. More detailed information on the timetable and financial details of the cooperation has not yet been published.
