- b'OSLO, Norway, May 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Vianode and Morrow Batteries (Morrow) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the development and qualification of large-scale supply of anode materials to Morrow Batteries\' planned lithium-ion battery cell facility in Eyde Energy Park, Arendal, Norway.
- Vianode, established by Elkem as a new company for battery materials, intends to supply the anode materials from its planned large-scale plant for battery graphite at Herya Industrial Park, Norway.\nVianode and Morrow will, as part of the agreement, jointly develop tailored, high-end anode materials suited for applications of Morrow lithium-ion cells, including both synthetic graphite and silicon-containing anode materials.
- The collaboration is intended to result in a long-term, high volume supply agreement for anode materials.
- The marketplace conservatively expects the battery demand growth to increase ten times over the current decade, and we expect the same development for battery materials.
