"A now-ex graphene battery maker in Queensland says it is just weeks away from
starting sales on a sodium battery product, and says it has a list of clients
waiting for installations.
PowerCap says will start producing its sodium batteries for both commercial
clients, many of which are in the US, and for residential use early in 2025.
They say the price will be 30 per cent cheaper than lithium ion batteries.
The company, a subsidiary of Zero Emissions Developments, is also working on a
solid state battery.
It has the technology solved and is now looking for a manufacturer that can
handle the challenges that come with making and dealing with a solid
electrolyte.
“We’ve got the technology down, we’ve just got to get into larger scale
manufacturing now… we’re probably looking at around two years,” Chris Dryden
general manager of product development and manufacturing, told
Renew Economy.
In the interim, the company’s initial product is the sodium battery: a version
that can plug into a power point, a regular home battery and the commercial
size which starts at 50 kWh and can be as large as 130 kWh, but can be stacked
to create something bigger.
Dryden says they have one client in Italy which is waiting on a 50 kWh
installation."
