Full press release → https://lnkd.in/exXB9qcb “This is a defining moment for Lyten,” stated Dan Cook, Lyten CEO and Co-Founder. “Lyten’s mission is to be the leading supplier of clean, locally sourced and manufactured batteries and energy storage systems in both North America and Europe. The acquisition of Northvolt’s assets brings the facilities and Swedish talent to accelerate this mission by years, just at the moment when demand for Lyten lithium-sulfur batteries is growing exponentially to meet energy independence, national security, and AI data center needs.” Ebba Busch, Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden, stated: “Lyten’s acquisition of the Northvolt assets is a win for Sweden, for the former employees of Northvolt, and for positioning Sweden as key to Europe’s energy independence. We have been working closely with the Trustee and Lyten to fully support this deal and we are excited to work with Lyten moving forward to make good on the immense potential of these assets.”

Liquid Wind receives SEK 39 million funding to advance eFuel project in Sweden Liquid Wind has secured SEK 39 million in funding from #Industriklivet, the Swedish Energy Agency’s program supporting the green transition in industry. The grant will support the pre-engineering phase of the company’s full-scale eMethanol facility in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, paving the way for a future investment decision on the eFuel plant. The planned facility will produce 100,000 tons of eMethanol per year by combining green hydrogen from electrolysis with 150,000 tons of captured biogenic CO₂ from Övik Energi AB’s biofuel-powered CHP plant. This integrated approach is expected to avoid 200,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually, providing a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels in hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping, aviation, and the chemical industry. Claes Fredriksson, CEO and founder of Liquid Wind, says the funding represents a strong commitment from the Swedish government and signals confidence to international investors and offtakers. “It is a clear endorsement of our vision to scale local and resilient eFuel solutions in Europe,” he explains. With this project, Örnsköldsvik is set to strengthen its role as a frontrunner in Sweden’s green energy transition while Liquid Wind moves closer to delivering large-scale, low-carbon solutions for transport and industrial sectors.

First six months 2025: Investments today – for a fossil-free future Electricity prices in the Nordic region fell during the first half of 2025 and Vattenfall’s total electricity generation declined. Despite this, Vattenfall reports an improved underlying operating profit. Contributing to the improvement in earnings were more favourable effects from price hedging on the continent and improved results from both trading and distribution operations. During the quarter, we took an investment decision that enables increased capacity at the Harsprånget hydro power plant in Sweden and obtained several permits for the Muir Mhòr wind farm off the east coast of Scotland. Read Vattenfall´s President and CEO Anna Borg´s comments on the interim report for January-June 2025: https://lnkd.in/eAacYyEM #Vattenfall #quarterlyreport #financialreport
