Northvolt intends to establish a battery gigafactory in Heide, Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany. The new gigafactory increases Northvolt’s pipeline of battery manufacturing capacity under development to more than 170 GWh. The selection of Heide, Schleswig-Holstein, is key to fulfilment of this objective.

Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

But why bother at all when so many other manufacturers have deemed hydrogen too volatile to be safely utilized for combustion and too expensive to rationalize as a substitute for the large battery packs going into all-electric vehicles? Presently, the vast majority of hydrogen is produced using coal or natural gas as feedstocks.
