Norwegian startup Blastr plans €4B green steel plant in Finland

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 5, 2023

Norwegian startup Blastr Green Steel is planning to establish a green steel plant with an integrated hydrogen production facility in Inkoo, Finland. The area has excellent conditions for industrial activities: a deep-water harbor and an excellent electricity transmission network. Finland is an ideal location for our project.

Visedo introducing new SRPM motor design for buses; 10% increase in power, better cooling

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 20, 2017

Finnish manufacturer Visedo is unveiling a new electric motor design at BusWorld 2017 that is optimized for the bus market and ready for mass manufacture. The supply current to the machine stator windings create a rotating magnetic field, which in turn rotates the rotor containing permanent magnets. PowerDRUM S Click to enlarge.

JANUARY 18, 2023

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 only have pipes, valves, a fan, and an electric heating element.

Most importantly at present, it is playing an important role in electrifying vehicles including cars, buses, trucks and ferries and in electric bikes , scooters and autonomous robots. However, electric vehicles basically are emission-free at least when they are powered by electricity generated from renewable sources such as wind, solar, etc.

Charged EVs

FEBRUARY 6, 2024

For EVs to deliver their full emission-reducing potential, the battery supply chain must be as clean as possible, and cathode active materials (CAM) are a key part of the sustainability equation. Total emissions over the lifetime of an electric vehicle are considerably lower than those of an internal combustion engine.
