Taiwan elestor flow battery

How does elestor reshape the world of batteries?

Elestor reshapes the world of batteries in ways that promise to transform the entire energy system. “We will soon see the emergence of entirely new power plants with hydrogen bromine flow batteries at their heart,” says Wiebrand Kout, Chief Technology Officer.

Why do we use elestor flow batteries?

The technology is affordable and easy to scale, which means we can speed up the spread of Elestor flow batteries to store large volumes of electricity over long durations. Find out why we dedicate our lives to a sustainable future and discover how we help shape a new, clean energy system that will improve everyone’s lives.

Do elestor flow batteries need to be square or cylindrical?

There is no particular need for Elestor’s flow batteries to be either square or cylindrical, which are common formats for conventional batteries. Indeed, the hydrogen and the bromine can be stored in enormous tanks, including in tanks previously used to store other chemicals.

How does elestor's large-scale flow battery work?

A rapid transition to a new and entirely clean energy system is now possible, thanks to Elestor’s large-scale flow battery that can store renewable energy for long periods of time. Elestor’s flow battery is constructed around an electrochemical cell, where chemical energy is provided by the chemical reaction between two active materials.

What will elestor do with its funds?

It will use the funds to further develop its hydrogen bromide (HBr) flow battery technology for renewable energy storage. The company plans to build a gigawatt-scale production facility at an unspecified location. “ We are also building the first commercial system as we speak,” said Elestor CEO Guido Dalessi.

What is elestor doing with Royal Vopak?

Last year, Elestor partnered with one of the world’s leading independent tank storage companies, Royal Vopak. The joint ambition is to scale up the electricity storage capacity of these flow batteries to 3,000 kWh and then further develop it to industrial scale. This development is part of Vopak’s New Energy strategy.
