Our take
Natron Energy is the leading developer of high-power, long-life and low-cost sodium-ion batteries using Prussian Blue chemistry. To put it simply, the company hopes to be the future of energy storage by solving ongoing operational performance and reliability problems for some of the world’s biggest electricity customers.
It differentiates itself from other battery companies in three key ways: by having higher power discharge and faster recharge, offering an industry leading service life, and being non-flammable. However, it is perhaps most lauded for its sustainable impact, as it builds its batteries using commodity materials on existing manufacturing lines using locally-sourced materials around the globe.
The company invested funding with the aim to increase the commercialization of its sodium-ion battery by 10x. Its industry support has also grown and its planning to build a $1.4B gigafactory in North Carolina. It's an ambitious project but one that will supply many jobs and significantly boost the prodution capacity of sustainable battery technology.
