    China’s MIIT to guide sodium-ion battery industry development
    210 Views

    China’s ministry of industry and information technology (MIIT) said on Wednesday it will coordinate the formulation of a standard for sodium-ion batteries and support its approval, Kallanish reports.

    As part of its 14th five-year economic plan, which runs in the 2021-25 period, China plans to promote high-quality development of its sodium-ion battery industry. For that, MIIT will guide battery manufacturers and facilitate the R&D for the advanced technology, along with improving supporting policies and expanding applications.

    Battery maker giant CATL earlier this year announced its plans to develop a sodium-ion battery supply chain by 2023. The launched its first generation sodium-ion battery for EVs and power storage systems, with an energy density of 160 watt-hour per kilogram (Wh/kg). This is the highest energy density level in the world, CATL says, even though it’s still lower than lithium iron phosphate batteries.

    CATL’s technology enables a 15-minute charge to 80% and has a discharged retention rate above 90% in -20oC. The manufacturer, however, is targeting an energy intensity of 200 Wh/kg for its next-generation batteries, and is inviting suppliers, customers and research groups to jointly accelerate the technology for sodium-ion batteries.

    MIIT notes that together with industry, it will aim to improve the relevant standards to speed up application of these batteries in new energy power stations, vehicles, communication base stations and other areas.

    Samenvatting over American Manganese Inc.

    American Manganese aims to create circular lithium-ion battery supply chain through its ground-breaking technology

    The company's focus is on recycling lithium-ion batteries from electric-vehicles and then selling the materials back for re-use

    Battery minerals are critical minerals
    Patent-protected process
    Clear route to commercialization
    What American Manganese does:

    American Manganese Inc (CVE:AMY) (OTCMKTS:AMYZF) is blazing a trail in recovering key metals from scrap cathode material rejected by battery manufacturers.

    The critical metals tech group is focused on recycling lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles (EVs) and then selling the materials back to said firms.

    Due to the rapid upswing in electric vehicles (EVs), demand for lithium-ion batteries is growing exponentially and the raw material supply is struggling to keep up.

    Lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and aluminum are all used in battery production and the recoverable value for these metals is estimated to be as high as US$75.8 million per gigawatt of lithium cobalt batteries.

    Meanwhile, there is an increase in spent lithium-ion battery waste and no efficient method to recover the valuable cathode materials trapped inside. Existing methods are capital intensive and uses high heat (1,500?), which comes along with harmful emissions, and low recovery and purity of cathode materials that are not repurposed into new batteries.

    The EV manufacturing industry's titan Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has announced that it is looking to “close the loop” on battery production by using recycled materials at its Gigafactory in Nevada, and Swedish competitor Northvolt is planning to build environmentally-friendly batteries by incorporating a recycling facility.

    American Manganese, based in Surrey, British Columbia, announced early in 2019 a significant milestone after being awarded a patent for its lithium-ion battery cathode material recycling technology called RecycLiCo. The technology is a breakthrough in recycling of lithium-ion batteries by providing a high extraction of cathode materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese at battery-grade purity. The process involves minimal steps, ensuring a high-grade, low-cost output.

    How is it doing:

    It's been a busy 12 months for AMY, now also listed on the OTCQB Venture Market in New York, as it steadily advances its technology.

    On April 9, the company announced that it had improved its manganese processing flowsheet following the recent research and development on the Wenden Stockpile reclamation and advanced material processing bench-scale project, which was funded by the US Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

    It said it expects the flowsheet enhancements to further improve process efficiencies and reduce capital costs of a potential future commercial operation, as recent metallurgical bench-scale studies that focused on solid-liquid separation demonstrated that the original flowsheet can be optimized. The company added that it achieved up to 99% extraction of manganese from the leach studies and determined optimal processing conditions.

    On March 12, 2021, American Manganese reported that it had awarded a C$2.7 million contract to partner Kemetco to build a 500 kilogram (kg) per day demonstration plant and also to construct a 5 tonne per day commercial recycling plant.

    The goal of the demonstration plant is to provide a tool for licensing or joint developing RecycLiCo with potential industry partners, and, armed with engineering data from that project, Kemetco will design the commercial version. The pair agreed to increase the initially planned commercial plant capacity to process battery cathode waste of five tonnes per day (t/d) from three t/d.

    Among the many achievements of the American Manganese-Kemetco collaboration in recent years has been test results achieving 99.7% extraction of lithium, nickel, manganese, and cobalt from the process and achieving 99.99% purity on recycled lithium-ion battery material. It has also tested various cathode chemistries including NCA, NMC, LCO, and LMO.

    Also in March, the company said it had inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Italvolt SpA, Italy’s first battery Gigafactory and one of the largest in Europe, to develop a commercial recycling plant alongside its planned facility in Scarmagno, Italy.

    Italvolt is building the largest and greenest Gigafactory in Europe with a capacity of 45 GWh by 2024, potentially rising up to 70 GWh. The factory will be built at the iconic Olivetti factory in the heart of Europe's Motor Valley.

    In February 2021, AMY said it had appointed former Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) director for central Europe, Jochen Rudat, to its advisory board. Rudat spent 10 years working under Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, where he helped launch Models S, 3, X and Roadster in Europe.

    The company has welcomed new US President Joe Biden's executive order (EO) to strengthen critical supply chains, which specified "high-capacity batteries, including electric-vehicle batteries", as one of three key technology supply chains.

    There has also been progress on the company's Wenden Stockpile project in Arizona this year. The project site contains around 322,000 metric tons of low-grade manganese, bought by the US Government in the 1950s and 1960s, and is being funded by an award from the United States Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), to confirm the viability of efficient electrolytic manganese metal (EMM) production using American Manganese's recovery process.

    It has the potential to create a US domestic supply of manganese, for which the US has been 100% import-dependent since 1973.

    In February 2021, the firm said it had achieved positive manganese extraction results from the asset, after a series of bench-scale tests using AMY's patented process achieved up to 99% extraction of manganese.

    The company also recently boosted its patent portfolio after being awarded a South Korean patent for its RecycLiCo technology. The company has also filed National Phase Patent Applications for China, Japan, Europe, Australia, India, and Canada.

    Inflection points:

    Construction of demonstration and commercial plants
    Italy project developments and Wenden activity
    More deals and tie-ups
    What the boss says:

    In April's statement regarding its US Defense Logistics Agency project, American Manganese CEO Larry Reaugh said: “We continue to demonstrate our advanced manganese processing capabilities on low-grade manganese resources through our project with the DLA. Our work suggests that despite its low grade, the Wenden Stockpile may be a valuable manganese resource for the US, which is now 100% import-dependent for manganese in all forms."

    “It’s important that we maintain our methodical approach to enable an efficient and cost-effective flowsheet for treating Wenden Stockpile material to produce electrolytic manganese metal on a commercial scale,” Reaugh added.

    BMW wil CO2-uitstoot drastisch beperken
    11:37
    Oliver Zipse, ceo van BMW, vorig jaar tijdens de Autoshow IAA van Frankfurt. Op 7 september gaat de IAA in München van start.

    BMW is van plan om de uitstoot van het broeikasgas CO2 drastisch beperken. De autofabrikant uit Beieren wil in 2030 de uitstoot van zijn productieprocessen, en de uitstoot van de auto's gedurende hun gebruiksduur. met ten minste 40% verminderen ten opzichte van de uitstoot van 2019. Daarmee scherpt BMW zijn doelstelling, die eerst op 30% lag, aan.

    Dat heeft de ceo van BMW, Oliver Zipse gezegd in aanloop naar de Autoshow IAA die dat volgende week in München wordt gehouden, aldus persbureau Reuters. 'We zetten ons in voor een duidelijke koers om de doelstelling van 1,5 graad te halen', aldus Zipse, verwijzend naar het internationale Klimaatverdrag van Parijs uit 2015.

    Meer hergebruik

    De landen die dat verdrag hebben ondertekend, hebben zich verplicht de opwarming van de aarde beperkt te houden tot 1,5 graden Celsius. Dat houdt in dat er snel een einde moet komen aan het gebruik van fossiele brandstoffen die als oorzaak worden gezien van het broeikaseffect.

    BMW wil zijn aangescherpte doelstelling onder meer bereiken door nog meer materialen en onderdelen opnieuw te gebruiken. Het hergebruik wordt opgeschroefd van 30% naar 50%. BMW wil geen scherpe deadline stellen om te stoppen met de productie van brandstofauto's. Als reden geeft de autofabrikant dat het in Europa nog altijd schort aan de infrastructuur voor de grootschalige inzet van elektrische auto's.

    Chiptekort

    Evenals andere autofabrikanten leidt BMW onder de chiptekorten en de stijgende grondstofprijzen. In juli moest het concern zijn productie opschorten. Volgens het Duitse onderzoeksinstituut Ifo kampte 83,4% van de autofabrikanten en hun toeleveranciers in juli met een tekort aan halfgeleiders. Desondanks kwam BMW een maand geleden met positieve halfjaarcijfers.

    Update:

    BMW voert bestellingen voor batterijen op tot ruim €20 mrd
    11:53
    BMW heeft zijn bestellingen voor batterijcellen flink opgevoerd om te kunnen voldoen aan de toenemende vraag naar elektrische auto's. De Beierse autofabrikant heeft nu voor een bedrag van ruim €20 mrd aan orders uitstaan voor de productie van elektrische voertuigen tot 2024. Dat is €8 mrd meer dan het eerder bekendgemaakte bedrag.

    Ceo Oliver Zipse van BMW maakte maandag de cijfers bekend tijdens de Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA Mobility) die deze week in München wordt gehouden.

    'We volgen de markt', aldus Zipse in een interview tegenover persbureau Bloomberg. 'De eerste helft van dit jaar heeft laten zien dat we groeien en marktaandeel winnen. We zitten midden in de elektrificatie.'

    In het tweede kwartaal bestond 11,8% van alle leveringen van BMW uit elektrische en hybride auto's. Dat is bijna een verdubbeling ten opzichte van vorig jaar. In Duitsland nam het aandeel elektrisch zelfs toe tot 21,8%. De autofabrikant heeft de batterijen nodig voor diverse automodellen waaronder de i4-sedans, de iX-sportwagens en BMW M.

    Nieuwe generatie batterijen

    BMW betrekt zijn batterijen van de Chinese batterijleveranciers CATL en EVE Energy en het Zuid-Koreaanse Samsung SDI en Northvolt uit Zweden. Volgend jaar wil BMW overschakelen op een nieuwe generatie batterijen. In Nederland legt onder andere LeydenJar zich toe op de ontwikkeling van een nieuwe generatie batterijen. In 2017 won dit Leidse-Eindhovense bedrijf de BMW Start-up Challenge, een internationale competitie voor innovatieve technologie, vorige week kreeg het nog een investering van €22 mln.

    BMW gaf maandag ook een toelichting op zijn milieubeleid. Het doel is om kostbare materialen zoveel mogelijk te hergebruiken. 'We zullen minder primaire hulpbronnen nodig hebben waardoor we ook economisch onafhankelijker kunnen zijn', zei Zipse over zijn zogenoemde 'The BMW i Vision Circular'.

    Chiptekort

    Wel kampt BMW, evenals veel andere autofabrikanten, met de toelevering van halfgeleiders. Zipse bevestigde dat het chiptekort niet snel zal worden opgelost. 'We zeiden enkele weken geleden al dat de tweede helft van dit jaar moeilijker wordt', aldus Zipse. 'En dat zien we nu. Het probleem verdwijnt de komende maanden niet zomaar.'

    Chipleverancier Qualcomm maakte maandag bekend dat het de chips zal leveren voor het digitale dashboard van een nieuw elektrisch voertuig van Renault. De Franse autofabrikant onthulde maandagochtend op de IAA in München zijn volledig elektrische Mégane E-Tech Electric. Renault wil de nieuwe, volledig elektrische SUV volgend jaar op de markt brengen. Begin dit jaar maakte Qualcomm bekend ook dashboardchips te leveren aan General Motors.

    Qualcomm strijdt met Magna om de overname van het Zweedse Veoneer. In 2018 mislukte de overname van NXP, dat met Renesas en Infineon tot de grootste chipleveranciers voor de auto-industrie behoort.

    UK’s foremost investor in lithium-ion battery cell technologies and associated R&D Britishvolt has instructed ISG to commence enabling works on the UK’s premier Gigaplant site in Cambois in Northumberland. ISG anticipates that will start in late autumn or early winter. This initial phase will see the site cleared and preparatory work carried out for the services and infrastructure that will support construction activity.

    The development is a major boon for Northumberland, and indeed the country, and will bring around 3,000 direct highly skilled jobs and another 5,000+ in the associated supply chains.

    Britishvolt is on target to manufacture some of the world’s most sustainable, low carbon battery cells on the site of the former Blyth Power Station coal stocking yard located in Cambois, Northumberland. The project will be built in three phases each of 10GWh to a total capacity of 30GWh by end-2027 onwards. This allows the business to keep on top of any technological advancements. Once at full capacity, the Gigaplant will have a production capability equating to approximately enough cells for around 300,000 electric vehicle battery packs per year, intended primarily for the automotive industry.

    Elektrische auto's. Dit keer Volvo!

    'Volvo moet voor $20 mrd naar de beurs'

    Het Chinese Geely Holding staat op het punt om Volvo — een onderdeel van de holding — naar de Zweedse beurs te brengen. De autoholding is in vergevorderde gesprekken met banken om de beursgang in enkele weken plaats te laten vinden, meldt persbureau Reuters.

    Volvo krijgt een waardering van zo'n $20 mrd. Deze geldsom zou zes tot zeven maal zo hoog liggen als de winst van het bedrijf. Goldman Sachs en het Zweedse SEB zouden de leidende banken zijn bij de beursgang.

    Geely heeft Volvo in 2010 overgekocht van Ford Motor voor $1,8 mrd. Dit was destijds de grootste overname van een buitenlands autobedrijf door een Chinese onderneming.

    Elektrificatie

    Net als veel andere autofabrikanten zet Volvo de laatste jaren in op de ontwikkeling van duurzamere elektrische auto's. Volvo heeft gezegd in 2030 de hele productielijn elektrisch te willen hebben. Het bedrijf heeft daarnaast een aandeel van 49,5% in elektrische autofabrikant Polestar.

    Het besluit om te elektrificeren volgde op plannen van rivalen Jaguar Land Rover, General Motors en Volkswagen om hetzelfde te doen. Autofabrikanten reageren daarmee op de steeds strengere regelgeving voor de uitstoot van auto's in veel landen. Maar zij volgen ook met argusogen de hoge beurswaardering van volledig elektrische autoproducenten zoals Tesla.

    The technology group Wärtsilä will supply a 9.2 MW / 8.7MWh energy storage system to Zenith Energy, an Independent Power Producer in Australia. Zenith sells the electrical power it produces to some of the world’s largest mining companies with operations in Australia. The installed energy storage system will address a cyclic load demand in an underground mine, and operate in parallel with an existing dual fuel engine power plant currently with total capacity of 65.98 MW. The energy storage system will be delivered on an engineered equipment delivery basis and is expected to become operational in Q1, 2022. The order was booked in June 2021.

    The new energy storage system combining the fully integrated GridSolv Quantum modules and GEMS Digital Energy Platform, will cater to a more frequent cycling load. Adding storage will save the engines from frequent ramping by managing the power fluctuations of the mining site, therefore improving the operational efficiency, resulting in fuel savings and a lower carbon footprint for the mine’s power plant.

    Zenith Energy is a repeat customer for Wärtsilä and had previously procured three operating Wärtsilä 34DF dual-fuel engines that are used for constant load feed. Zenith Energy will add a further two Wärtsilä 34SG pure gas engines to the current fleet in 2022.

    Battery Supplies presenteert AQ-LITH Energybox: nieuwe batterij voor stroom uit zonnepanelen

    Battery Supplies introduceert in de Benelux de AQ-LITH Energybox. Deze lithium-ionbatterijen van 3, 5 of 7 kilowattuur slaan de overtollige energie van zonnepanelen op en geven deze terug wanneer het nodig is.

    Het energieopslagsysteem is desgewenst uitbreidbaar tot 10 en 14 kilowattuur. Het bedrijf richt zich voornamelijk op de Vlaamse zonne-energiemarkt, waar door het verdwijnen van de terugdraaiende teller de interesse in thuisbatterijen groeit.

    Zelfconsumptie
    ?Het optimaliseren van de zelfconsumptie wordt in Vlaanderen steeds belangrijker om de energiefactuur onder controle te houden; ook vanwege de komst van het capaciteitstarief en de variabele energiecontracten. De AQ-LITH Energybox van Battery Supplies speelt hierop in.

    De batterij meet voortdurend de energie die naar of van het stroomnet gaat. Zodra de installatie merkt dat er zonne-energie over is, zal ze de batterij laden. Op momenten dat de zon niet zoveel energie meer levert, wordt in eerste instantie de batterij ontladen voordat er naar duurdere netstroom wordt overgeschakeld.

    Piekverbruik
    Daarnaast kan de thuisbatterij ook helpen om het piekverbruik af te vlakken. Na installatie kan de gebruiker via een app het verbruik van de zonnepanelen en batterij continu monitoren. Kortom, dankzij de AQ-LITH Energybox kan men de zelfconsumptie al snel met 30 procent verhogen en zo besparen op de energiefactuur.

    Nieuw is dat de Energybox nu ook kan communiceren met de omvormer. Dit maakt dat de batterijen nog fijnmaziger kunnen worden aangestuurd en dat de batterijgegevens kunnen worden geraadpleegd via het internet.

    3 capaciteiten
    Battery Supplies biedt zijn EnergyBox aan in 3 capaciteiten naargelang het energieverbruik: 3,5 en 7 kilowattuur. Bovendien kan deze thuisbatterij parallel geschakeld worden tot 14 kilowattuur.

    Toshiba, Sojitz & CBMM Join Hands for Lithium Ion Batteries

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    29 Sep, 2021, 6:31 am`

    Toshiba Corporation, Sojitz Corporation and CBMM have entered into a joint development agreement for the commercialization of next generation lithium-ion batteries using niobium titanium oxide as the anode material. The three companies aim to commercialize high energy density, quick charging batteries in FY2023, mainly targeting application in commercial e-vehicles. CBMM has contracted with Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus, a pioneer in the development and serial production of electric trucks in Latin America, to further mature this technology in real application. Toshiba and Sojitz will support this project. This time, NTO battery will be installed on new electric vehicle designed by Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus as a pilot project and parties will collect the valuable vehicle operation data.

    Towards commercialization, Toshiba aims to secure stable supply of niobium materials from CBMM and Sojitz, and the three companies will target to gain market share in the rapidly expanding secondary battery market by utilizing CBMM and Sojitz's global network.

    One of the major requirements for rechargeable battery development is greater energy density and faster charging. NTO has twice the theoretical volume density of the graphite-based anode generally used in lithium-ion batteries, and in June 2018 the three companies entered into a joint agreement to develop NTO’s potential as an anode material. This work, led by Toshiba’s Corporate Research & Development Center, has reached fruition with the development of prototype cells, and the companies have now agreed to extend collaboration for accelerating development of mass production processes and the early commercialization of next-generation lithium-ion batteries.

    Niobium, Nb, one of the metallic element, is an important additive in the production of high-grade steel alloys, including high-tensile and stainless steel, and its ability to enhance strength while reducing weight has made it indispensable for automotive applications. Brazil-based CBMM is the world’s leading producer of niobium and is well-known for its strong technology and product development programs. As CBMM’s shareholder and distribution agent in the Japanese market, Sojitz has cultivated the knowledge and capabilities needed to establish a stable supply system and assist in the development of different applications for niobium.

    E.ON & Volkswagen Launch Fast Charger with Storage Battery

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    29 Sep, 2021, 6:30 am

    E.ON and Volkswagen have put in operation the first E.ON Drive Booster in Essen. The innovative product makes fast charging easier and more affordable for operators and customers. As a flexible fast charger, it requires no civil engineering work or adjustments to the grid connection and can charge two electric vehicles simultaneously with 150 kW. This means the expansion of a dense public network of fast-charging stations, as is essential for the future success of e-mobility, can become a reality much sooner than was previously assumed.

    The “E.ON Drive Booster” is an electric powerhouse that doesn’t need to draw its power directly from the grid but rather has its own integrated battery storage system. A normal power connection like those found at any supermarket and the internal battery together provides the necessary capacity to charge two electric vehicles simultaneously with up to 150 kW. As a result, it only takes an average of 15 minutes to charge the cars with enough power for a range of around 200 km.

    With the Booster, E.ON is the first company to offer its German customers a solution like this, available immediately.

    MAHLE & Allotrope Unveil Breakthrough Battery Technology

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    30 Sep, 2021, 6:30 am

    MAHLE Powertrain and Allotrope Energy have unveiled a new battery technology which offers ultra-fast recharging coupled with good power density. By combining the benefits of super capacitors and traditional lithium-ion batteries, the new lithium-carbon technology enables a full charge to be delivered in a similar time to refuelling an internal combustion-powered vehicle. In addition, Li-C cells are free from rare-earth metals, are fully recyclable, and are not susceptible to the runaway events. In a collaborative project with Allotrope Energy, MAHLE Powertrain has considered how an electric moped could be used as an urban delivery vehicle powered by an inexpensive small capacity lithium-carbon battery that could be recharged between stops in as little as 90 seconds.

    Allotrope Energy’s lithium-carbon technology combines the benefits of super capacitors and traditional lithium-ion batteries to deliver a cell that can be recharged quickly and yet retains good energy density. The technology features a high-rate battery-type anode and a high-capacity electric double layer capacitor style cathode, separated by an organic electrolyte. The result is a battery cell with that suffers none of the thermal degradation effects experienced by traditional lithium-based batteries. Its stability, even at high temperatures, permits high current delivery and fast recharging, all without the need for complex external cooling or elaborate battery management systems.

    Additionally, its capacitor-style cathode enables a lifetime of over 100,000 cycles, far greater than conventional batteries, while the elimination of rare-earth metals and the design’s complete recyclability make it better for the environment both during production and long after it.

    As part of the project, MAHLE Powertrain investigated the scenario of a city-based e-moped fast-food delivery service with a 25 km target range. A 500 Wh conventional lithium-ion battery would require a recharge mid-shift that, even with a fast-charger, would take more than 30 minutes. In addition, regular fast charging reduces battery life to the point it would likely need replacement every year or two. A lithium-carbon pack, however, could be recharged at 20 kW in just 90 seconds, meaning a full charge could be achieved in the time taken for the next delivery to be collected.

    The solution Bassett’s team came up with uses its own built-in capacitor-based energy store to deliver ultra-fast charging up to 20 kW by augmenting the power from a typical 7 kW single phase connection, thereby reducing cost and complexity while eliminating the need for expensive power grid connection upgrades.

    Iron battery breakthrough could eat lithium’s lunch

    Iron Battery Breakthrough Could Eat Lithium’s Lunch

    The world’s electric grids are creaking under the pressure of volatile fossil-fuel prices and the imperative of weaning the world off polluting energy sources. A solution may be at hand, thanks to an innovative battery that’s a cheaper alternative to lithium-ion technology.

    SB Energy Corp., a U.S. renewable-energy firm that’s an arm of Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp., is making a record purchase of the batteries manufactured by ESS Inc. The Oregon company says it has new technology that can store renewable energy for longer and help overcome some of the reliability problems that have caused blackouts in California and record-high energy prices in Europe.

    The units, which rely on something called “iron-flow chemistry,” will be used in utility-scale solar projects dotted across the U.S., allowing those power plants to provide electricity for hours after the sun sets. SB Energy will buy enough batteries over the next five years to power 50,000 American homes for a day.

    “Long-duration energy storage, like this iron-flow battery, are key to adding more renewables to the grid,” said Venkat Viswanathan, a battery expert and associate professor of mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.

    ESS was founded in 2011 by Craig Evans, now president, and Julia Song, the chief technology officer. They recognized that while lithium-ion batteries will play a key role in electrification of transport, longer duration grid-scale energy storage needed a different battery. That’s because while the price of lithium-ion batteries has declined 90% over the last decade, their ingredients, which sometimes include expensive metals such as cobalt and nickel, limit how low the price can fall.

    The deal for 2 gigawatt-hours of batteries is worth at least $300 million, according to ESS. Rich Hossfeld, chief executive officer of SB Energy, said the genius of the units lies in their simplicity.

    “The battery is made of iron salt and water,” said Hossfeld. “Unlike lithium-ion batteries, iron flow batteries are really cheap to manufacture.”

    Every battery has four components: two electrodes between which charged particles shuffle as the battery is charged and discharged, electrolyte that allows the particles to flow smoothly and a separator that prevents the two electrodes from forming a short circuit.

    Flow batteries, however, look nothing like the battery inside smartphones or electric cars. That’s because the electrolyte needs to be physically moved using pumps as the battery charges or discharges. That makes these batteries large, with ESS’s main product sold inside a shipping container.

    What they take up in space, they can make up in cost. Lithium-ion batteries for grid-scale storage can cost as much as $350 per kilowatt-hour. But ESS says its battery could cost $200 per kWh or less by 2025.

    Crucially, adding storage capacity to cover longer interruptions at a solar or wind plant may not require purchasing an entirely new battery. Flow batteries require only extra electrolyte, which in ESS’s case can cost as little as $20 per kilowatt hour.

    “This is a big, big deal,” said Eric Toone, science lead at Breakthrough Energy Ventures, which has invested in ESS. “We’ve been talking about flow batteries forever and ever and now it’s actually happening.”

    The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration built a flow battery as early as 1980. Because these batteries used water, they presented a much safer option for space applications than lithium-ion batteries developed around that time, which were infamous for catching on fire. Hossfeld says he’s been able to get permits for ESS batteries, even in wildfire-prone California, that wouldn’t have been given to lithium-ion versions.

    Still, there was a problem with iron flow batteries. During charging, the battery can produce a small amount of hydrogen, which is a symptom of reactions that, left unchecked, shorten the battery’s life. ESS’s main innovation, said Song, was a way of keeping any hydrogen produced within the system and thus hugely extending its life.

    “As soon as you close the loop on hydrogen, you suddenly turn a lab prototype into a commercially viable battery option,” said Viswanathan. ESS’s iron-flow battery can endure more than 20 years of daily use without losing much performance, said Hossfeld.

    At the company’s factory near Portland, yellow robots cover plastic sheets with chemicals and glue them together to form the battery cores. Inside the shipping containers, vats full of electrolyte feed into each electrode through pumps — allowing the battery to do its job of absorbing renewable power when the sun shines and releasing it when it gets dark.

    It’s a promising first step. ESS’s battery is a cheap solution that can currently provide about 12 hours of storage, but utilities will eventually need batteries that can last much longer as more renewables are added to the grid. Earlier this month, for example, the lack of storage contributed to a record spike in power prices across the U.K. when wind speeds remained low for weeks. Startups such as Form Energy Inc. are also using iron, an abundant and cheap material, to build newer forms of batteries that could beat ESS on price.

    So far, ESS has commercially deployed 8 megawatt-hours of iron flow batteries. Last week, after a six-month evaluation, Spanish utility Enel Green Power SpA signed a single deal for ESS to build an equivalent amount. SB Energy’s Hossfeld, who also sits on ESS’s board, said the company would likely buy still more battery capacity from ESS in the next five years.

    Even as its order books fill up, ESS faces a challenging road ahead. Bringing new batteries to market is notoriously difficult and the sector is littered with failed startups. Crucially, lithium-ion technology got a head start and customers are more familiar with its pros and cons. ESS will have to prove that its batteries can meet the rigorous demands of power plant operators.

    The new order should help ESS as it looks to go public within weeks through a special-purpose acquisition company at a valuation of $1.07 billion. The listing will net the company $465 million, which it plans to use to scale up its operations.
