Air-Catalyst
We use zinc as our anode due to its exceptional energy density, enabling our technology to deliver high energy output comparable to diesel fuel. Additionally, zinc is widely available, with approximately 13.3 million tons smelted annually.
Our semi-solid state hydrogel electrolyte facilitates hydroxide ion transfer between the air-catalyst and metal fuel. This hydrogel material is widely used in industry and is ecologically safe.
The air catalyst drives oxidation of our metal fuel, ensuring a reliable design and consistent performance.
Scaling our Technology
We are excited to share our journey of scaling from prototype to commercialization. Our initial storage system is designed for commercial and industrial customers, with plans to expand as we scale our technology into utility-scale grid solutions and large-scale transportation through distributed fuel. Early prototypes have shown strong potential, enabling us to refine our technology and align it with customer needs. We are now focused on building strategic partnerships and conducting rigorous on-site testing to ensure our solutions meet the high standards of these sectors.
