Alsym Energy Battery Lab

The performance of lithium ion at a fraction of the cost and risk

Alsym™ Energy has developed an innovative low-cost, high-performance rechargeable energy storage technology that’s free of lithium and cobalt, and ideal for applications such as stationary storage, maritime shipping, and EVs including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and passenger vehicles.

By using readily available, inherently non-toxic and non-flammable energy storage materials, Alsym is working to accelerate the pace of decarbonization for people around the world.

Stationary & Grid Storage

Stationary & Grid Storage

Electricity generation is shifting to renewables, but solar and wind power must be backed up at scale to ensure 24/7 availability. Lithium-ion systems are mostly unsuitable for urbanized areas due risk of fires and highly toxic gases. As high-profile storage fires become more common, communities are working to delay or even block new storage installations.

Safer options exist, but most have low energy densities and low power with large footprints. With system-level capacities similar to lithium-ion and the ability to operate at elevated temperatures, Alsym is the only high-performance, non-flammable battery storage option capable of replacing lithium-ion in urban areas and hot climates.

Alsym technology combines fast charge rates and user-configurable discharge durations with high round-trip efficiency in a minimal footprint for maximum energy and power with low levelized cost of storage (LCOS). With high power density and on-demand user-configurable discharge rates, wide-duration Alsym batteries are an ideal solution for both short-duration and long-duration energy storage (LDES) needs.

Marine, Maritime & Off-Shore

There’s little tolerance for hazardous battery chemistries in maritime applications. The maritime sector has aggressive decarbonization targets, but extensive safety engineering makes lithium-ion systems expensive–up to 5 times higher on a per-kWh basis.

Unlike lithium-ion batteries, Alsym batteries are made from materials that are inherently non-flammable, reducing the risks to human life and cargo and helping to lower insurance costs and cumulative liabilities.

Alsym batteries can be used for both hybrid and fully-electric vessel applications, as well as off-shore wind farms, oil and gas platforms, and drilling rigs.

Electric Scooter

Two and Three-Wheelers

Two and Three-Wheelers

The global market for electric scooters, motorbikes, motorcycles and three-wheelers is set to triple by 2030. Today, over sixty million are sold every year, and most run on fossil fuels. Battery electric models are in demand, but buyers are extremely cost-sensitive and concerned about battery fires. Low-quality lithium-ion batteries found in many eBikes and other two wheelers regularly catch fire due to poor heat dissipation or overcharging, leading to injuries and deaths.

Our low-cost, non-flammable batteries are poised to be an ideal solution for the two and three-wheeler market, maximizing performance and profit margins while greatly reducing the risk of fires. Alsym batteries can be used for both internal, built-in storage and battery swapping systems.

Passenger Vehicles and EVs

Passenger Vehicles and EVs

Even with recent market changes, the cost of lithium-ion batteries is still higher than what’s needed for EVs to reach cost parity with comparable internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This means that EVs are not an option for most buyers globally. Low-cost, high-performance Alsym batteries will enable global adoption of battery-electric vehicles across consumer and commercial segments.

Alsym batteries contain no lithium, cobalt, or nickel and use a non-flammable water-based electrolyte. They’re incapable of entering thermal runaway and catching fire, reducing the likelihood of battery recalls and cumulative liabilities.
