About Hydrovolt
The world needs clean batteries, and we need a plan for what to do with them end-of life. We need to recover the materials and use them in new batteries or other products – and not produce waste.
Northvolt the Swedish battery manufacturer, and Hydro the energy and aluminum producer from Norway, have now come together to create the joint venture Hydrovolt, which is building one of Europe’s largest electric car battery recycling facilities in Fredrikstad, Norway.
Hydrovolt will be able to recycle the entire Norwegian volume but will also collect batteries from Sweden and other parts of Europe. We also plan to recycle other types of batteries, including from electric ferries, ships and ESS. At the start, the plant will be able to handle more than 8,000 tons of battery modules – so about 23,000 EV batteries per year. We begin in Norway, but we are expanding our service and operations in Europe.
