American ambri energy storage battery application

Are Ambri's energy storage systems safe?

Ambri's energy storage systems are extremely reliable and safe. They do not produce or emit any gases and have no possibility of thermal runaway. Ambri is scaling an advanced long duration energy storage technology to lower the cost of shifting renewable energy to times of high demand.

Are Ambri batteries renewable?

Ambri’s liquid metal batteries store energy from renewable sources like solar or wind plants and are designed to support an electric grid powered by up to 90% renewables. A classic problem with renewable forms of energy is they aren’t guaranteed around the clock.

What is Ambri battery technology?

Ambri Inc. has developed and is commercializing a new, long-duration battery technology that will enable widespread use of renewable energy sources, reduce electricity costs, and enable power systems to operate more reliably and efficiently.

What is Ambri's liquid metal battery technology?

Ambri's liquid metal battery technology fundamentally changes the way electric grids operate. It increases the contribution from renewable sources, enabling grid-scale solar and wind farms to replace coal, oil, and natural gas peaker plants.

Is Ambri a disruptive battery tech startup?

Unlike many battery tech startups that claim to be disruptive, Ambri’s liquid metal battery is actually an improvement for large-scale stationary energy storage. Founded in 2010 by Donald Sodaway, a professor of materials chemistry at MIT, the startup saw Bill Gates as its angel investor with a funding of $6.9 Million.

Will Ambri supply a battery system in South Africa?

The contract will see Ambri supply a battery system to serve a 300-megawatt, 1200-megawatt-hour, combined wind, and solar power generation site in the Eastern Cape. This will be the largest battery energy storage system in South Africa.
