Mining company Nornickel has announced an expansion of production from its nickel refinery in Finland in response to growing demand for responsibly produced electric vehicle (EV) battery materials in Europe. In Phase 1, nickel output at the Harjavalta refinery will increase from 65 000 t/y to 75 000 t/y in 2023 and in Phase 2, to more than 100 000 t/y by 2026. "This expansion will further strengthen Harjavalta refinery's position as one of the most sustainable producers of nickel and cobalt metals to the EV battery industry,” said Nornickel Harjavalta MD Joni Hautojärvi.
