The alarm: Electrification a ticking climate bomb
Published 070 AM
The booming battery industry is a ticking climate bomb that is razing rainforests and fouling rivers, and if we keep at it, batteries will just be a new, innovative way to create the same old emissions. Northvolt's founder and CEO Peter Carlsson thinks so.
In the so-called green transition, where everything must be electrified to save humanity from the alleged climate crisis and the approaching doom, batteries are central, but according to Peter Carlsson, a large part of the battery industry is as climate-destroying as the old industry.
In a guest column in The Economist, which Carup draws attention to, he singles out Chinese companies such as CATL, BYD and Eve in particular.
"The carbon footprint of Chinese batteries is alarmingly large: somewhere between 100 and 130 kilos of carbon dioxide per kilowatt hour. This means that the global battery industry is on track to create an annual carbon footprint roughly half that of Germany. If we continue with that, batteries will just be a new, innovative way to create the same old emissions.”

Carlsson refers to rainforests being razed and rivers polluted during the construction of nickel supply chains in Indonesia under the auspices of Chinese companies.
“To take one example, Chinese companies are currently making large investments in Indonesia and creating the world's fastest growing nickel supply chain. Rainforest has been cut down to build large open pits, using diesel generators as a source of energy and to dispose of waste products, such as acids and highly polluted water, into rivers and oceans. Of course, it provides low-cost nickel and cheap batteries, but at what total cost?", writes Peter Carlsson.
Sweden the role model
Furthermore, he believes that environmentally friendly and climate-smart battery investments are possible and that Northvolt is part of this solution.
According to Carlsson, battery factories should be built where there is climate-neutral energy, as in Sweden, while the industry must start building circular flows where all damaged and used-up batteries can be recycled into material for new batteries.
Thirdly, he wants to see more work with battery technology, as faster charging is high on car manufacturers' wish lists.

'IS-Swedish' raped underage wife 100 times - sentenced
Published 09:30 AM
In 2013, 29-year-old Swedish citizen Abdirahman Shukri Mohamed traveled to Syria to join the Islamic State terrorist group. There he also married an underage girl whom he systematically molested. Now he is being sentenced in a Swedish court.
The marriage between the girl and the "IS Swede", who Expressen calls Abdirahman Shukri Mohamed with a Somali immigrant background, took place in Raqqa with the girl's older brother as the so-called legal representative. The girl was then raped at least 100 times.

A few days ago, the district court's verdict was confirmed in the Court of Appeal regarding several serious rapes but also forced marriage, which meant that the sentence was increased from eight years and ten months in prison to ten years.
In the judgment, the Court of Appeal writes that when assessing the penalty value for the total crime, it is the large number of serious rapes against children that was of decisive importance.
The court of appeals justifies the verdict of forced marriage with reference to the girl's vulnerability in IS-ruled Syria, plus the fact that her chances of getting out of the country on her own were very small.
Particular ruthlessness and crudeness
The girl told the district court that it would be an advantage to get married because then it would be easier to get out of Syria. Getting married was also something she had been persuaded and influenced to do for a long time.
The Court of Appeal follows the district court's line that Abdirahman Shukri Mohamed showed "special recklessness and brutality" when he took advantage of the girl's vulnerable situation. He has also used violence, coercion and threats of violence, which has made the girl ultimately see it as pointless to try to fight back.
He himself denies any crime.
