hela Sverige The Biomaterials division offers a wide variety of pulp grades to meet the demands of paper, board, tissue, textile and hygiene product producers. We maximize the business potential of the side streams of our processes, such as tall oil and turpentine from biomass. Based on our strong innovation approach, all fractions of biomass, like lignin and sugars, hold potential for use in various applications.
The Division's Innovation function has a key role in developing new applications and solutions, addressing well-identified customer needs. The Innovation Centre in Stockholm and our locations in Imatra and Karlstad host versatile talents in research, business development and marketing, working together to reach our ambitious goals.
As part of these innovation activities Biomaterials Innovation is developing and commercializing bio-based carbon materials for energy storage, such as Li-ion batteries. The global battery market is expected to expand rapidly within the next ten years, enabling new solutions in the fields of consumer electronics, e-mobility and residential energy storage. With our renewable bio-based materials we contribute to making these solutions more environmentally responsible. As important milestone in our mission, Stora Enso is currently constructing a pilot plant for the production of bio-based carbons at our Sunila mill in southern Finland.
Biomaterials Innovation is now looking for a R&D (Senior) Specialist in Carbon Technology to join our team. The position is located at the Innovation Centre for Biomaterials in Sickla/Stockholm.
As Specialist in Carbon Technology, your purpose will be to develop and commercialize innovative carbon-based materials, derived from renewable biogenic resources, for sustainable batteries and other energy storage solutions.
The Role
Your main responsibilities will be to:
Design, conduct, and contribute to scientific research and development activities in the field of electrochemical energy storage, with a focus on carbon-based anode materials for batteries and supercapacitors.
Create innovative ideas and solutions to develop new carbon-based materials and to optimize existing materials.
Take responsibility for scientific and technological progress.
Act as expert for carbon materials and technology, guiding lab engineers, and translating customer needs and requests into new materials and solutions.
