Impact Analysis

Zelos Energy Ltd, develops environmentally safe and inexpensive batteries with the goal of eliminating the need for lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion in certain applications. Their zinc-manganese dioxide battery has the potential to realize high cycle rates and deep discharge levels.

Using EOS’ technology, utilities can rely on cleaner and a more efficient energy mix by storing excess energy produced during off peak hours and discharging the stored energy back to the grid during peak hours. The main environmental advantages of EOS’ battery is its recyclability and avoidance of rare earth materials.

ZincFive manufactures and deploys high-capacity, rechargeable, and recyclable nickel-zinc batteries that provide high energy density and performance, with significant safety and environmental advantages.

GDI is a technology company focused on fast-charging energy storage applications. Their patented anode technology for Lithium-ion batteries replaces conventional carbon-based materials with silicon using the same production methods used to produce thin film solar cells.

Urban Electric Power (UEP) is a New York - based company manufacturing and deploying rechargeable alkaline batteries. UEP technology relies on zinc and manganese dioxide, which are abundant and safe materials. UEP alkaline batteries are aqueous, making them highly fire resistant, and they have the UL 1973 safety certification.
