Safe and sustainable zinc batteries have made major inroads in the energy storage space over the past five years, accumulating $1.3 billion in combined private and public investment and leading to a half-dozen factory builds.
Last month I enjoyed collaborating with U.S. Department of Energy leadership at a Zinc Battery Workshop at West Virginia University, where we built a roadmap to accelerate commercialization and scale manufacturing of zinc batteries. This opportunity helped me see how far our industry has advanced and what challenges we still need to overcome.
