Problem
Grid-scale energy storage solutions are needed to balance intermittent renewable energy sources and improve grid reliability. Existing battery technologies often rely on scarce or environmentally problematic materials, limiting scalability and increasing costs.
Solution
Quino Energy manufactures aqueous organic flow batteries that utilize quinone molecules dissolved in water to store electrical energy for commercial and grid applications. This technology offers a cost-effective and scalable solution for large-scale energy storage by using abundant and sustainable organic materials. The batteries leverage a process that converts dyestuff raw materials directly into high-performance designer quinones, using the flow battery system itself as the production reactor, enabling a new chemistry without a new factory while creating zero chemical waste.
Target Audience
The primary customers are commercial and grid operators seeking affordable and sustainable large-scale energy storage solutions.
