Description:
Iron-air modular battery platform for cost-effective, rare-earth-free, long-duration energy storage.
Key Highlights:
Grants Received: ~$0.3M
Funding Raised: ~$0.7M
Core Problem Statement
Structural solar and wind power intermittency creates extensive multi-day flexibility gaps within energy grids that standard lithium-ion and short-duration storage solutions cannot economically resolve at utility scale.
Solution Overview
An iron-air modular battery platform engineered for long-duration energy storage. It features a proprietary iron-particulate bed architecture that suppresses hydrogen evolution and surface passivation, providing a rare-earth-free, non-flammable aqueous chemistry that operates at a fraction of the cost of standard chemical storage.
Strategic Engagement Opportunities
The platform offers global utilities, heavy industrial facilities, and clean energy developers a deployment-ready long-duration storage module suitable for microgrid balancing and baseline asset integration.
