Our Board offers the unique combination of decades of pioneering research experience along with extensive global industrial-scale experience. We are the strategic leadership required to take Granode’s revolutionary technology to the world.
Global Challenge & Opportunity
Climate change calls for a bold and swift transformation of the economy. With lithium-ion batteries and their value chain being the key enablers of the European Green Deal, the challenge to secure the present and future supplies of raw materials has been elevated to the very top of the economic agenda.
Batteries as a critical ingredient of a sustainable future
Batteries are emerging as a critical ingredient in the transition to a more sustainable future because of their role in electrifying transportation and balancing intermittent power grids.
Recent demands in electric private transportation are a clear accelerator of the lithium-ion battery growth.
However, the use of batteries is more than an opportunity to eliminate vehicular CO₂ and NOₓ emissions. In a world grappling with climate change, scaling up production of battery-related raw materials—a clearly long-term vital future industry—can also offer:
Technological Vision of Granode Materials
Technological developments at Granode Materials play a pivotal role in the battery value chain, holding vast potential for value-creation and macroeconomic growth in future industries.
This vision will be realized through Granode’s core product development, driven by the critical need for higher energy densities in portable applications and the importance of reducing battery costs. Granode will be driven by the importance of scale to reduce production costs and the competing battery performance.
A sustainable European battery value chain
Granode Materials envisions a sustainable battery value chain that can help unlock the recent wrangles of the Swedish and European raw materials supply risks, while pushing the boundaries of innovation to provide competitive high-performance lithium-ion batteries for the region.
Our prediction: the winning companies will be those that create the changes of the next few years.
