Collaborating with energy providers and grid operators for large-scale deployment.
Working on integrating energy storage into existing grids to optimize renewable energy use and improve stability.

Culture + Values

extremely passionate and devoted and mission oriented, and we also are able to sustain things like a family life. And those two things are not in opposition.
team composed of passionate people who are deeply motivated and inspired to create a better world
culture where constructive disagreement is welcomed to drive innovation

Environment + Sustainability

2030 Target

Net-Zero Emissions Goal

Targets achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2030.

$30M Grant

California Energy Commission Funding

Received a significant grant to support renewable energy storage deployment.

500 MWh Storage

Multi-Day Energy Storage Capacity

Deployment of a large-scale energy storage system to support renewable energy grids.

83% Reduction

Decrease in Renewable Curtailment

Modeling shows substantial reduction in the need to curtail renewable energy production.

Developing iron-air batteries using iron, water and air to enable fully renewable electric grid year-round.
Building commercial-scale iron-air battery factory in West Virginia by end of 2025.
Working on electrochemical ironmaking with ARPA-E funding to produce net-negative CO₂ iron at cost-parity with pig iron.
Modeling shows potential savings of ~$100B in hardware costs for New England.
