Contact usOur mission is to provide a redox flow battery that is safe to use, can be easily used on a large scale, and works on materials that are common on Earth, so that we together can accelerate the energy transition.
The future of energy production is clear - it is renewables that are going to take the lead. However, they have one shortcoming - intermittency. Due to wind patterns, night and day cycles, and overall weather, solar and wind energy are not stable in their operation. Furthermore, it is not only that there is too little energy when we need it but sometimes there is an excess. Then we hear stories about private solar panels being disconnected from the grid.
Our solution is an all-iron redox flow battery. The use of iron as the active material in both positive and negative electrodes reduces the cost of the battery, while the use of a flow battery design allows for high energy density. This technology is particularly well-suited for grid-scale energy storage, as it allows for the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid and helps to mitigate the effects of intermittency. One of the main advantages of all-iron redox flow batteries is that they do not use rare earth metals, which are often used in other types of batteries.
