CENATE

Cenate is a Norwegian company developing and producing silicon-containing anode materials to be directly used in today´s lithium-ion batteries... Cenate has since 2016 spent more than 30 MUSD to develop our novel and proprietary anode materials and production processes. This work has been a continuation of silicon anode research at the Norwegian Institute of Energy Technology (IFE) starting in 2010 combined with Dynatec's equipment development for PV silicon since 2010. The very first anode materials were produced in 2015, and in 2017 Cenate was established as a spin-off company together with ex-REC co-founder and CTO, Erik Sauar as well as Martin Kirkengen, the former head of battery research at IFE. Since 2020, a series of new reactors have been developed and constructed. Encouraging results from these smaller reactors, led to the financing and building (completed 2022) of a full-scale pilot plant that shall have 100 tons yearly capacity - equivalent to roughly 1 000 MWh/yr.
