and businesses have taken little part in this activity. As a country that produces raw materials equivalent to those used in batteries and with almost 100% renewable power production, Norway is capable of hosting battery production facilities with Europe's lowe

on electric vehicles with batteries produced in Norway. This is an obvious barrier where Norway should maintain “pressure”, balanced by offering Norwegian pro ucts, such as gas/non-ferrous metals and carbon storage. A reactive approach to forthcoming EU strategies and regulations could h

will be 2.4 GWh in 2018, and rising to ~8.5 GWh in 2030. The net amount of batteries that will be available for reuse or recycling per year in Norway was estimated to approxim tely 0.6 GWh in 2025, and approximately 2.2 GWh in 2030. These batteries may potentially be reused for different areas of application, for example energy storage

from fossil to renewable energy in Norway and abroad. The battery strategy forms part of the Government's Green Industrial Initiative, and the value chain or batteries is one of seven pillars in this initiative. The others are the value chains for offshore wind, hydrogen, carbon capture and storage (CCS
