If materialized, this will be the first plant to produce Cenate’s patent protected products for the EV battery industry. The application is for a production capacity up to 400 MT/yr, which is equivalent to about 3 GWh of anode material or nearly 100 000 passenger cars per year using Cenate’s anode materials. Through the use of Cenate’s technology each of these cars will either become 20-40 kg lighter in weight and get more space available, or get a battery with significantly longer driving range.
Due to the high volume of gas required for mass production, the project requires approval from the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection (Direktoratet for Samfunnssikkerhet og beredskap) based on a thorough quantitative risk analysis made by a competent third party. This analysis has recently been carried out by Vysus Group and is part of the application.
-The filing of the first permit application for our first industrial plant marks an important milestone in our preparations for mass production. A large engineering job has been completed and we are very pleased to file this application, says Cenate CEO, Erik Sauar.
