The verdict in the Talgamålet will soon await: "Particularly good position"
PUBLISHED MARCH 16, 2023
Per-Erik Lindvall, chairman of the board of the mining company Talga, believes that their operations are important for the EU's mineral strategy and the fossil-friendly industrial transition. He hopes that this will also be considered in future environmental tests.
The verdict in the Talgamålet case, where the Sami villagers' right to clean work is pitted against the extraction of graphite, will soon come. Today, it is above all the local environmental impact that is taken into account, but the mining company hopes that the global environmental benefit will also be included in the assessment in the future.
It will be important for Talga AB, which will most certainly participate in more environmental tests as more areas near Vittangi are mapped.
The graphite from the Nunasvaara mine is supposed to be processed in a facility in Luleå that is partially finished, but which will continue to grow.
It is about producing battery material that will become important when petrol and diesel cars are to be replaced by electric vehicles.
The role of tallow in the transformation
Here, you are also well aware of the EU's strategy and the role you yourself want to play in the transformation.
- Together with the patents we have in the company and the unique deposit near Vittangi, we have a particularly good position, he says.
