The battery is designed by startup Polar Night Energy and is due to be built over the next 13 months in Pornainen, Finland. Once constructed, the company estimates that it could lead to a reduction in yearly carbon dioxide emissions of nearly 70 percent. That’s largely due to the predicted complete elimination of oil use, and a roughly 60 percent reduction in the burning of woodchips.
