GigaVaasa / Facebook Finland is placing itself at the forefront of the battery sector, boosted by recent significant investments in industrial production and green innovations. In early 2021, Finland outlined a national battery strategy aspiring to elevate its industry to pioneering status by 2025.
Finland in January became one of the first countries in the world to unveil a national battery strategy, devised to establish itself as a competitive, competent and sustainable player in the global market.
In early 2021, Finland outlined a national battery strategy aspiring to elevate its industry to pioneering status by 2025. The significance of this goal is pressing: the value of the European battery market is tipped to reach 250 billion euros by that year driven by significant carbon reduction milestones looming Europe in the near future.
As the only country in the world capable of managing the entire battery value chain, from mineral extraction to recycling, Finland is uniquely positioned to respond to the surge in demand for batteries stemming mostly from the rapid proliferation of electric vehicles in Europe.
Numerous innovations have thus emerged in Finland across various sectors to help reach these goals, yet the omnipresence of battery power in meeting the needs of wider green ambitions has placed greater emphasis on developing value chains for such that don’t drain the Earth’s resources.

The study was commissioned by Business Finland and jointly executed by Gaia Consulting and Spinverse. WHY FINLAND?
Batteries are another core technology for driving the green transition, not only as enablers of carbon-free mobility but also as storage solutions that smooth out the variability of renewable energy such as wind and solar power.
The battery stores 8 MWh of thermal energy when full. When energy demand rises, the battery discharges about 200 kW of power through the heat-exchange pipes: that''s enough to provide heating and ...
Battery energy storage systems are currently the only utility-scale energy storages used to store electrical energy in Finland. BESSs are suitable for providing FCR and FFR services. BESSs provide rapid reaction times: full power can be achieved in a matter of hundreds of milliseconds
Sand batteries are getting bigger in Finland. The new 1 MW sand battery has a precursor. In May 2022, Polar Night Energy rigged a smaller design to a power station in Kankaanpää town.

The first sand battery in the world was installed in Kankaanpפפ town, Finland in June 2022, and it can store heat energy from renewable resources for months. Finnish developers Tommi Eronen, CEO and Ville Kivioja, lead scientist from Polar Night Energy said that the batteries were made from the sand collected from the construction sites.
Some of the respondents did not see the use of recycled materials as reasonable because ''batteries are needed in Finland more than the raw materials'', and ''batteries for certain applications can be replaced with …
Fortum, a Finnish majority state-owned energy company, is shaking up the value chain for industrial and electric vehicle batteries with a low-carbon dioxide recycling solution capable of utilising up to 80 per cent of batteries, thus ensuring cobalt, lithium, nickel and other scarce metals are returned to circulation from end-of-life products.

Energy consumption for heating has increased, as population and average size of homes has grown. As of 2019, 2.8 million Finns and half a million Helsinki residents rely on district heating for their homes. [8] In 2017, 66% of the new homes were connected to district heating and usage kept expanding among old buildings as well. [9]80% of the energy use of households was …

So when energy prices are higher, the battery discharges the hot air which warms water for the district heating system which is then pumped around homes, offices and even the local swimming pool.
Some new types of batteries, like lithium metal batteries or all-solid-state batteries that use solid rather than liquid electrolytes, "are pushing the energy density frontier beyond that of lithium-ion today," says Chiang. Other energy storage technologies—such as thermal batteries, which store energy as heat, or hydroelectric storage, which uses water …
The process uses resistive heating where hot air is generated and circulated in the sand using a heat exchanger. Using very little energy, the sand can be kept hot for months. When energy is needed, the battery discharges the hot air, which is used to warm water which is then pumped around homes, offices, and even the local swimming pool.
