Finland-based Forest BtL Oy has licensed Carbo-V biomass gasification technology from Linde Engineering Dresden GmbH. The Carbo-V technology will be implemented in a new Biomass–to-Liquid (BtL) plant in Kemi, Northern Finland. The project will be funded by the European Union’s NER300 program for innovative, low-carbon technologies.

It is a daunting question that a startup called Polar Night Energy, in the small and chilly nation of Finland (Figure 1), is attempting to answer. These initiatives have largely focused on renewable electric power generation, distribution, and storage. We used COMSOL to model and evaluate different design options.”

However, at the start of its useful life an EV tends to come with a higher “carbon backpack” because of the battery. Cathode active materials are not only a performance and cost driver in EV batteries—they are also a significant contributor to an EV’s overall emissions, so the cathode is in the spotlight of carbon reduction efforts.
