(Bergen, 11 September 2024): Bergen Carbon Solutions AS (BCS, OSE:BCS)
Beyonder and Bergen Carbon Solutions ("BCS") have signed a letter of intent
(LOI) to establish a local value chain of green carbon for Beyonders BePowered
product- and development work for next generation battery chemistries.
"Securing local access to sustainable carbon materials for our batteries are
important, and the BCS novel technology to develop a true local CCU value chain
is attractive for us to further explore. Our aim will be to offer a unique and
competitive advantage for our batteries in the years to come" says Tove Nilsen
Ljungquist, CEO of Beyonder.
The objective of the cooperation is to further establish and commercialize
access to critical carbon materials for Beyonder`s BePowered products and the
next generation battery chemistries.
"Local and sustainable battery production will be key as EU's Critical Raw
Materials Act(CRMA) will enhance the strategic importance for the battery
producers to team up with new sustainable technology providers in the raw
material space like BCS. Together with Beyonder, we will work to reduce their
supply chain risk and their corresponding CO2 footprint in the years to come"
says Odd Strømsnes, CEO of BCS.
