Imagine a giant battery that uses saltwater instead of toxic chemicals. It works like a rechargeable water tank: it uses electricity to split saltwater into two liquids, stores them in tanks, and then mixes them back together to get the power back. Because it uses salt and water, you can make it as big as you need just by adding larger tanks.
Intermittent renewable energy leads to 10% curtailment and grid instability. The EU faces a €600bln grid expansion challenge that is currently impossible to meet, hindering business growth.
A modular power unit based on patented membrane stack technology, housed in standard sea containers for easy transport and installation.
If you are a farm operator dealing with 10% curtailment of your energy production — this project developed a modular power unit that stores excess energy for 8 to 100 hours. This allows you to stabilize the grid and avoid wasting generated power.
If you are a grid operator dealing with a €600bln need for grid expansion that is currently impossible — this project developed a sea-container based storage unit that provides power flexibility. This reduces the pressure on the physical grid and improves reliability.
If you are a factory dealing with grid congestion and reliability issues that hinder your growth — this project developed a non-toxic, scalable storage system. This ensures business continuity by providing a safe, local energy reserve.
Based on available project data, the system offers inexpensive scaling because it uses seawater as a sustainable and affordable storage medium.
Yes, the project developed a modular power unit housed in standard sea containers, making it infinitely scalable and easy to transport for utility-scale storage.
The system is based on the company's patented membrane stack technology utilizing bi-polar membrane electrodialysis and reverse electrodialysis.
The modular units are designed for rapid deployment across diverse applications, ranging from small microgrids to large utility-scale systems.
The technology is designed for long-duration energy storage, capable of delivering power for 8 to 100 hours.
The project is led by a single SME, AQUABATTERY BV from the Netherlands. With a 100% industry ratio and no university or research partners, the focus is entirely on commercialization and industrial application rather than basic research.
