“We are very grateful to be selected for this grant award from the EU Innovation Fund, which demonstrates the EU’s continued support for FREYR’s ongoing industrialization efforts of sustainable battery value chain solutions,” commented Tom Einar Jensen, FREYR’s Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. “FREYR is focused on its development efforts in the U.S. while we continue to explore avenues to unlock shareholder value from our portfolio of real assets and potential projects in Norway and Europe such as the proposed CAM facility in Finland.
