Another update on Talga progress
Talga chooses Rejlers as partner for digital development in projects for sustainable anode production
FRE, JAN 26, 2024 08:30 CET
Talga is investing in anode production in northern Sweden, which has the potential to significantly reduce CO 2 emissions in the manufacture of electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Rejlers has been assigned to support Talga in the digital development of the project, from preliminary study to finished production facility, with technical support and services within IT ( Information
Technology), OT (Operational Technology) and ET (Engineering Technology).
Talga is making significant investments in anode production, which will provide the opportunity to significantly reduce CO 2 emissions in the manufacture of, for example, electric vehicles and energy storage systems. The anode makes up half of the active material in a modern lithium-ion battery. The process is vertically integrated and includes own mining in Vittangi - where some of the world's highest quality graphite deposits are found - as well as material processing and manufacture of anode products at a new factory in Luleå.
Rejlers has been given the assignment to drive and support Talga in the digital development, with technical support and services in the area of IT/OT/ET. These services are linked to all parts of Talga's development, from preliminary study to finished production facility.
In the initial phase, Rejler develops the system architecture as well as the digital models and processes that are the basis for achieving an optimal process for future construction and building production. An important aspect is to create multidimensional information models that give designers tools and choices to be able to choose solutions and find a balance between parameters such as cost, time and climate impact.
- Talga's ambition is to be at the forefront both in terms of planning, products and production process, where we will assist with advice on new technology and innovative solutions, says Amandus Yngvesson, Advanced solutions manager, industrial IT within Rejler's Industry division.
- Building a new and sustainable European value chain for battery anodes is both important and demanding. That is why we are happy to collaborate with Rejlers on IT solutions, says Martin Phillips, European manager at Talga.
- Through the project, we are contributing to the industrial transition where Talga's operations will play a key role for electrification and contribute to a reduced footprint through sustainable, local production, says Malin Ljung Eiborn, Head of Sustainability at Rejlers.
Initial ground preparations have begun for the planned construction start of Talga's factory in Luleå. In its first phase, the factory is estimated to be able to produce 19,500 tons of anode material per year, which corresponds to approximately 16 GWh of battery capacity.

What a great move! The pressure on party colleagues in Kiruna is growing. Now they have a former and incumbent minister against them, and from the same party. 😊 And would such a high-ranking politician jump on the Talga board if the prospect of success was not guaranteed? You know politicians...
