Problem
European battery manufacturers rely heavily on imported critical raw materials, creating supply‑chain vulnerabilities, higher costs, and sustainability concerns. Existing sodium‑ion technologies lack mature supply chains and robust performance, limiting their adoption for stationary and mobile energy storage.
Solution
Litona develops sodium‑ion battery cells that use locally sourced, abundant elements such as sodium and Prussian White cathodes. Their proprietary production process reduces steps, energy use, and cost while delivering high cycle life, wide temperature tolerance, and zero‑volt discharge capability for safe transport and storage. The cells are engineered to match existing lithium‑iron‑phosphate (LFP) voltage profiles, enabling drop‑in replacement in current systems without extensive redesign. By offering both custom‑specification cells and ready‑to‑use products, Litona provides a European‑sourced, critical‑material‑free alternative that enhances energy‑independence and reduces CO₂ emissions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are European battery manufacturers, OEMs, and energy‑storage system integrators seeking critical‑material‑free, high‑performance sodium‑ion cells for stationary storage, grid‑balancing, or temperature‑challenged applications.
