Redefining Large-Scale Energy Storage: How Metal-Free Flow Batteries are Changing the Game

Are grid-scale energy storage solutions truly sustainable if they are made with non-renewable resources through a carbon intensive process?

There are many inherent issues associated with traditional, metal based batteries, as they use both scarce and toxic materials sourced in unethical and unsustainable ways. The low recycling rates of many battery types also mean these materials end up in landfills, posing health threats to ecosystems where they are based. Valued at nearly $300M in 2020, metal-free redox flow technologies utilize abundant and organic materials, eliminating the cost volatility and GHG emissions associated with traditional battery chemistries. The increased use of renewable energy is driving a growing demand for grid-scale energy storage solutions, and flow batteries offer a safe, sustainable, and scalable grid-scale energy storage solution.

This webinar will provide insights into the evolving energy storage industry and how metal-free flow batteries are competing against their competitors. Featured speakers include JenaBatteries Managing Director Olaf Conrad, Potential Reactions Founder Ian Whyte, and Boundless Research Analyst Andreas van Giezen. Please join us for this important discussion about the advancement of flow batteries and it’s many applications.
