Where is Finland's first lithium-ion battery cathode active material plant?

Excavators and trucks work at the construction site of a lithium-ion battery cathode active material (CAM) plant in Kotka, Finland, on Ap. Chinese and Finnish companies broke ground Tuesday on Finland's first lithium-ion battery cathode active material (CAM) plant, a project aimed at boosting Europe's battery supply chain.

What does Finland's new lithium-ion battery plant mean for the battery industry?

The announcement was made on Wednesday 20 March 2025, marking a major step in the development of Finland's battery value chain. The plant will produce CAM, a key component in lithium-ion batteries, with an initial capacity of 60,000 tonnes per year. Future expansion is also part of the long-term plan.
