Peter Carlsson is steering the Swedish battery developer and manufacturer towards sustainable battery production. Northvolt is constructing one of Europe's largest battery factories, in a very competitive landscape with strong competition from China. Check out Peter’s visionary and bold approach, what we learned from his time at Tesla with Elon Musk and much more.
The production team on this episode were PLAN-B's Pål Huuse and Niklas Figenschau Johansen. Background research was done by Sigurd Brekke, with input from portfolio manager Stein Birkeland.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to a good company. Today we are diving into the world of batteries, renewable energy, innovative technology with Peter Carlson, the CEO of Norwalt. |
| 0:10.0 | Thank you. |
| 0:11.0 | Now, Peter, what is Nordwalt? |
| 0:22.9 | Norfolk is a battery company that focus on develop the most sustainable products in the industry. |
| 0:30.7 | It is one of the things we recognize is that batteries and battery supply chains are incredibly energy intensive. |
| 0:39.2 | And as such, they're also actually producing a significant carbon footprint. |
| 0:44.9 | And what we want to show is that there is another way by building sustainable supply chains, |
| 0:51.8 | by building factory setups in grid solutions that actually provide |
| 0:57.5 | renewable energy and doing it with the latest technology, including building circular setup, |
| 1:03.8 | that we can drive this battery revolution in a more sustainable way, and thereby we get |
| 1:10.7 | a significantly bigger impact on the green transition. |
| 1:14.3 | Now, you got some really wonderfully hairy goals. |
| 1:17.7 | Yeah. |
| 1:18.2 | I love it. |
| 1:19.5 | Now, where are you going to be in 10 years time? |
| 1:22.2 | I think in 10 years' time, we will be an entirely, you know, fully circular company. We will probably |
| 1:30.9 | at least have 50% of everything that we produce. We will produce with recycled material. |
| 1:39.5 | I think we build out our footprint to be kind of the Western leader, |
| 1:44.8 | both in Europe, in North America. |
| 1:47.0 | And then with Sodium ion, which is a new emerging technology, |
| 1:52.4 | I think we are rapidly evolving a footprint in, |
| 1:56.4 | if I call it, the developing world, India, Middle East, Africa. |
