Strategic collaboration accelerates development of high-performance battery cells, boosting Europe’s sustainable energy future and innovation.
Morrow Technologies AS (“Morrow”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Morrow Batteries ASA, and SEEL Swedish Electric Transport Laboratory AB have signed a strategic agreement to accelerate the development of lithium-nickel-manganese-oxide (LNMO) battery cells. The collaboration, part of the Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) initiative, aims to strengthen Europe’s battery technology and infrastructure.
Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer, Jon Fold von Bülow, at Morrow said: “Working together with SEEL means we can move faster and deliver better battery solutions. This is a practical step towards a stronger and more competitive European battery industry.”
The partnership will focus on designing and validating advanced accelerated ageing protocols for LNMO battery cells. These protocols will enable faster and more accurate predictions of battery lifespan and performance under real-world conditions, supporting the commercialization of next-generation batteries for electric mobility and energy storage. By combining Morrow’s expertise in cell development with SEEL’s state-of-the-art testing capabilities, the project is set to shorten development cycles and deliver safer, more reliable battery solutions.
Ankit Singh, R&D Manager at Morrow, commented: “This agreement is a vital step in accelerating the commercialization of next-generation LNMO batteries. Our joint efforts will enhance our technical capabilities and contribute to a more competitive European battery value chain.”
Dr. Martin G. H. Gustavsson, Research Director at SEEL, added: “By combining SEEL’s advanced test facilities with Morrow’s pioneering work on LNMO chemistry, we are confident we can set new standards for battery reliability and sustainability.”
RISE Research Institutes of Sweden supports the R&D collaboration.
Lars Fast, Researcher at RISE said: “The close collaboration between RISE, SEEL and Morrow will hopefully accelerate the development of methods for validation of products through advanced testing.”
