Problem
Traditional supercapacitors lack sufficient energy density to cost-effectively address many power quality and reliability issues in electrical infrastructure and battery energy storage systems. This limitation restricts their use in applications requiring high power for extended durations.
Solution
Florrent provides bio-based supercapacitors that achieve a 55% increase in energy density compared to conventional supercapacitors. This enhanced energy density unlocks new applications in power quality and reliability, such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), grid modernization, and hybrid energy storage systems (HESS). By utilizing domestically sourced biomass waste, Florrent's technology offers a cost-competitive and sustainable solution for efficient power storage, without sacrificing high power performance. The increased energy density allows for smaller system footprints and reduced overall costs per MJ.
Target Audience
Florrent's primary customers include businesses and grid operators seeking reliable power solutions for uninterruptible power supply (UPS), grid modernization, and hybrid energy storage systems (HESS).
