Elestor - Flow battery Technology
Elestor's flow battery technology is designed to facilitate energy storage with a focus on scalability and environmental sustainability. Utilizing abundant materials like hydrogen and iron, the power output can be expanded simply by adding more membrane stacks, while energy capacity can be increased through larger electrolyte and hydrogen tanks. This system can integrate into existing hydrogen pipelines, eliminating the need for standalone hydrogen storage. This scalability not only accelerates the transition to renewable energy systems but also decreases costs through economies of scale and automated production of membrane stacks. The hydrogen-bromine flow battery features advanced electrospun composite membranes made from SPEEK, PFSA, and PVDF materials. These membranes, tested for high proton conductivity and mechanical stability, demonstrate competitive ion exchange capabilities, thus positioning Elestor's technology as a viable alternative to conventional energy storage solutions.
Elestor’s flow battery is incredibly flexible and easy to scale. The materials used, hydrogen and irion, are abundant wherever you are in the world. Power can be increased simply by installing additional membrane stacks. Capacity can be increased by expanding the electrolyte and hydrogen tanks. The battery can even be integrated with existing or future hydrogen pipeline networks, removing the need for a hydrogen tank altogether.
Scalability matters more than most other factors when it comes to new technologies. Rapid application of groundbreaking solutions is important because their impact can help change the world. Our flow battery technology has the potential to dramatically speed up the energy transition, which means we can play an active role in revolutionizing the world’s energy system.
Scalability is also important because so-called economies of scale, in combination with a fully automated assembly of membrane stacks, offers perhaps the best way to continuously pressing costs lower. It is vital that clean energy solutions are both affordable and price competitive relative to the old-world fossil fuel technologies they are replacing.
Investors obviously value scalability for the reasons mentioned, but to them it is an attribute that also adds value, in that rapid scaling generally speeds up and increases the financial return on their investments.
