How can we ensure a viable lifecycle for maritime batteries, and how does this look today? Wednesday 8 June, Maritime CleanTech will launch a new study on the status quo of the Norwegian value chain for maritime battery applications. Join the launch and workshop.

While batteries running on renewable electricity have no climate emissions when they are in operation, the questions of what happens before and after use are often raised: Which resources we use, which materials we choose, and how we recycle, across the whole value chain. How do we ensure a sustainable lifecycle for maritime batteries?

– Through this preliminary study, we aim to give our cluster partners involved in green maritime operations valuable insight into the circular economy and how we can utilize this to create value and a greener lifecycle, says Øystein Huglen, Head of Innovation in Maritime CleanTech.

Several leading actors in the maritime sector have shared their insights and helped investigate which models secure the greenest outcome, which barriers are in place, and how the choice of material impacts the lifecycle.

Join the launch and workshop on 8 June

At the report launch, we’ll gather cluster partners for a workshop to further map out the future for batteries and the desired green value chains. Register to join the workshop above.

Cluster partner COWI has led the study work. Together with our cluster partners, we are aiming to show how the Norwegian value chain for marine batteries operates, and to uncover potential parts of the circular value chain that can be established.

The study is examining different models for securing the greenest possible outcome for marine batteries. Providing green, sustainable solutions are becoming a Norwegian trademark, and setting the focus on sustainability throughout the entire value chain can strengthen this Norwegian advantage even further.
