A 100% renewable energy world used to be impossible. We designed a long-duration battery that is so cheap that it makes 100% renewables cheaper than coal, gas, and nuclear. Our team with 2 PhDs raised a $500K pre-seed from Y Combinator, DCVC, and more
Lithium-ion batteries are the only storage system that can be deployed economically anywhere today. They can store solar and wind energy, but they are limited and expensive — at $200/kWh, it only takes a few hours of discharge to deplete a lithium-ion battery
Once depleted, recharging isn't always possible as it's not always sunny nor windy. Sometimes, such "droughts" can last weeks, or hundreds of hours. That's why we made a battery that can store 100x more energy for the same cost, at $2/kWh
As the demand for renewable electricity surges, so too does the demand for cheap, safe, and sustainable storage. Whereas lithium-ion can only store and deliver , we the availability of renewable energy 24/7, and enable fossil plants to fully retire.sometimes guarantee
Solar and wind will actually grow so much in the next 30 years, they will supply almost half of our worldwide electricity demand. By then, seasonal storage will become a major, unavoidable player in our electrical grid. Until then, we estimate (yet cannot guarantee) that the world's utilities will spend $50B/year building it from zero. That is our market
Our work has received several national awards, including the Prix Gérondeau by Zodiac Aerospace, Prix des innovateurs by ArcelorMittal, and the Concours Mondial de l'Innovation. We went through Y Combinator in 2017 and confirmed the patentability of our system in early 2020
We humans are stewards of the Earth, yet we are covering it in all kinds of pollutants, from plastics to CO2. This cannot be undone unless clean energy and recycling (powered by it) become cheaper than fossil fuels and landfilling. Our battery is instrumental in reaching this goal, and time is running out. Help us heal the Earth faster than it is destroyed!
