Northvolt ha recaudado $600 millones (513 Mn\u20ac) de inversores nuevos y existentes para que el fabricante sueco de pilas pueda ampliar su capacidad de producci\u00f3n y reciclaje y sus actividades de investigaci\u00f3n y desarrollo.<\/p>\n
Northvolt ha revelado que los nuevos inversores son: Baillie Gifford, Baron Capital Group, Bridford Investments Limited, Norrsken VC y PCS Holding. Los inversores existentes de la empresa tambi\u00e9n han participado en la ampliaci\u00f3n de capital. Se trata de los inversores privados Cristina Stenbeck y Daniel Ek, as\u00ed como de los accionistas de la empresa Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division, IMAS Foundation, Scania y Volkswagen AG.<\/p>\n
Northvolt afirma que Baillie Gifford, as\u00ed como los inversores existentes Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division y VW, han dirigido la colocaci\u00f3n privada de $600 millones (actualmente 513 millones de euros), pero no han revelado la distribuci\u00f3n exacta. Por lo tanto, no est\u00e1 claro qu\u00e9 acciones tendr\u00e1 Volkswagen en Northvolt en el futuro. El gigante automovil\u00edstico alem\u00e1n adquiri\u00f3 inicialmente el 20<\/a> del fabricante sueco de c\u00e9lulas de bater\u00edas en el verano de 2019.<\/p>\n \"Estamos en medio de una carrera para establecer capacidad de fabricaci\u00f3n en Europa, y creo que las empresas que mejor sepan atraer el talento y el capital, y al mismo tiempo escalar sus planes con mayor rapidez, ser\u00e1n las que tengan m\u00e1s \u00e9xito\", afirma Peter Carlsson, cofundador y consejero delegado de Northvolt. \"Con estos socios de talla mundial a nuestras espaldas, hemos creado una base s\u00f3lida para seguir adelante y ejecutar nuestros planes para permitir la fabricaci\u00f3n a gran escala de bater\u00edas ecol\u00f3gicas en Europa.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Northvolt ha recaudado $600 millones (513 Mn\u20ac) de inversores nuevos y existentes para que el fabricante sueco de pilas pueda ampliar su capacidad de producci\u00f3n y reciclaje y<\/p>","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":140490,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9927],"tags":[19557,21414,10230,13682,10914,10217,21415,21416,21432,21417,21433,10040,15439,21420,21418,8043,21419,2968,461,13946,10141,567],"class_list":["post-140512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-battery-fuel-cell","tag-baillie-gifford","tag-baron-capital","tag-batteries","tag-battery-cells","tag-battery-production","tag-battery-research","tag-bridford-investments","tag-christine-stenbeck","tag-cristina-stenbeck","tag-daniel-eck","tag-daniel-ek","tag-europe","tag-goldman-sachs","tag-imas-foundation","tag-norrsken-vc","tag-northvolt","tag-pcs-holding","tag-recycling","tag-scania","tag-suppliers","tag-sweden","tag-volkswagen"],"acf":{"inhalt_teil2":" The capital increase will enable investments in what Northvolt considers three key areas: the expansion of production capacity to 150 GWh by 2030, the expansion of the Northvolt Labs research centre, and the construction of a gigabit lithium-ion battery recycling plant. Northvolt announced the Revolt recycling program<\/a> in December 2019. The recycling plant is to be built right next to the actual battery cell factory Northvolt Ett in Skellefte\u00e5, Sweden. Northvolt claims that, with an initial capacity of 4 GWh, the plant will be the largest in the world and the only large-scale plant in Europe that can recycle lithium in addition to cobalt, nickel, manganese and other metals.<\/p>\n The company’s capital requirements are high in the current planning and construction phase. In July just passed<\/a>, Northvolt secured further loans of $1.6 billion from a number of banks. At that time they said that they would primarily use these funds to finance the construction of the cell factory Northvolt Ett and the German cell factory in Salzgitter that is joint work with VW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Besides Volkswagen, BMW is also one of Northvolt’s customers. The Munich-based company has been working with Northvolt since 2018 but did not conclude a longer-term supply contract with the Swedish company until July 2020<\/a>. Starting in 2024, Northvolt will supply the carmaker with cells manufactured in Skellefte\u00e5 worth two billion euros.<\/p>\n
