Project description
A battery built for a renewable Europe
A new class of high-power-density, durable aqueous batteries is being produced without critical raw materials or toxic solvents. It is also manufactured using low-cost methods with an ultra-low carbon footprint. Made from abundant, off-the-shelf materials such as inorganic salts and carbon powders, the batteries strengthen a resilient EU-based supply chain. Their design enables safe and simple recycling, supporting sustainability and the circular economy. Designed for fast energy storage, they buffer power to complement long-term storage, including Power-to-X technologies. By balancing supply and demand mismatches within seconds to minutes, they enhance grid flexibility and support a transition to a fully renewable energy economy.
Objective
We are introducing to the market a new class of aqueous high-power-density, highly durable batteries produced without using any critical raw materials or toxic solvents, using low-cost manufacturing methods with ultra-low carbon footprint. Our breakthrough batteries are built using abundant, off-the-shelf raw materials bearing no geopolitical risks, such as common inorganic salts and carbon powders. This enables a resilient EU-based supply chain. The unique engineering design we employ in making battery cells allows for safe and technologically simple recycling, which further contributes to their sustainable life cycle, supporting the circular economy. The application area of our battery technology is the so-called fast energy storage (buffering of power) that is needed to facilitate effective integration of the long-term energy storage, incl. Power-2-X technologies. Fast energy storage solves the problem of energy grid flexibility to enable transition to the 100% renewables-based economy as it addresses the problem of intermittency of energy supply by fast leveling of temporal mismatches between generation and demand at sub-second-to-minutes intervals.
