Altech Batteries Ltd (ASX:ATC) is a specialty battery technology company that has a joint venture agreement with world leading German battery institute Fraunhofer IKTS (“IKTS”) to commercialise the revolutionary CERENERGY® Sodium Chloride Solid State (SCSS) Battery.
ACERENERGY® batteries are the game-changing alternative to lithium-ion batteries. CERENERGY® batteries are fire and explosion-proof; have a life span of more than 15 years and operate in extreme cold and desert climates. The battery technology uses table salt and is lithium-free; cobalt-free; graphite-free; and copper-free, eliminating exposure to critical metal price rises and supply chain concerns.
The joint venture is commercialising its CERENERGY® battery, with plans to construct a 120Mwh production facility on Altech’s land in Saxony, Germany. The facility intends to produce 120 1MWh CERENERGY® battery GridPacks per annum to provide grid storage solutions to the market.
