Fluor Awarded FEED Contract for World’s First Industrial-Scale Sodium-Ion Battery Production Facility

January 04, 2024

Fluor Corporation has been chosen by Altris AB to provide front-end engineering and design (FEED) services for an industrial-scale sodium-ion battery production facility in Sandviken, Sweden.

Altris AB, a Swedish sodium-ion battery maker, develops cathodes, electrolytes, battery cells, and the industrialization process for these products. Sodium-ion batteries, primarily composed of salt, wood, iron, and air, are inherently safe and easy to recycle.

The project will be managed from Fluor’s Farnborough, England office, with FEED completion scheduled for early 2024.

Richard Meserole, president of Fluor’s Advanced Technologies & Life Sciences business line, stated, “This is a major step forward in battery evolution and the energy transition journey. We are thrilled that Altris turned to Fluor to help them bring this cutting-edge technology to market that will transform manufacturing to be safer and more sustainable. It is always rewarding when we can help our clients take ideas from concept to commercialization.”
