New energy batteries have forms

What is a form battery system?

Unlike lithium-ion batteries, which are typically used for intraday energy storage, Form’s battery system is designed to serve inter-day periods, delivering low-cost, clean electricity when and where it’s needed.

What is a solid-state battery?

Solid-state batteries (Figure 1A) are a new type of battery technology that aims to overcome the safety concerns associated with traditional batteries that use liquid electrolytes (Janek and Zeier, 2023). They offer higher energy density, which is a significant advantage.

What is form energy?

Form Energy is out to make long-term storage of renewable energy, like solar and wind, commercially feasible with an innovative take on an old technology: iron-air batteries. Form aims to produce iron-air batteries on a large scale and integrate them into our electric grid, to provide long-term storage for energy generated from renewable sources.

Are next-generation batteries the future?

In the pursuit of next-generation battery technologies that go beyond the limitations of lithium-ion, it is important to look into the future and predict the trajectory of these advancements. By doing so, we can grasp the transformational potential these technologies hold for the global energy scenario.

Can new battery technologies reshape energy systems?

We explore cutting-edge new battery technologies that hold the potential to reshape energy systems, drive sustainability, and support the green transition.

What makes form a sustainable battery?

With no heavy or rare-earth metals and approximately 80% of all components sourced domestically from within the United States, Form’s battery provides a sustainable solution to meeting the growing demand for grid security and resiliency.
