6 FAQs about Lithium battery production in Finland

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

The groundbreaking of Finland's first lithium-ion battery cathode active material (CAM) plant was celebrated today in Kotka. The event was addressed, among others, by the Finnish Minister of Economic Affairs, the Ambassador of China, and the Chairman of the City Board of Kotka.

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.

What is the EIB-led credit package for lithium production in Finland?

EIB-led credit package of €150 million development of lithium production in Finland for the EU. Lithium is critical raw material for the electrification of transport. Sibanye-Stillwater's Keliber lithium project aims to become EU's first integrated lithium hydroxide producer dedicated to supplying the European market directly.

How much lithium will Europe produce a year?

As the first lithium producer in Europe, the firm expects that it will produce 15,000 tonnes of battery-grade lithium hydroxide per year. Last year, Europe imported around 50,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide, which is used in electric vehicle (EV) batteries.

What's happening in Finland's battery cluster?
