🚀 Happy Friday, and happy World Space Week! Did you know iron-air batteries have space-age roots? Iron-air was first explored with support from NASA in the 1960s!
Early research into iron-air was backed by NASA, Westinghouse, the Swedish National Lab, and other global institutions. Over the decades, different applications for the technology were explored. As demand for clean, firm power surged, it became clear that iron-air could have significant potential for energy storage on the electric grid.
Today, we’re commercializing iron-air batteries with multi-day energy storage systems capable of cleanly and affordably delivering power for 100 hours – designed to transform how we power modern electric grids.
🪐 And one last fun fact for this Friday: iron is one of the most abundant metals in the universe!
