Storage addresses many challenges

Industry Challenge Storage value

Underutilized assets Enormous investment required to meet electricity usage

• Avoid or defer investments in generation, transmission and distribution

• Increase system asset utilization through increased load factor

Integrating inflexible generation (e.g., nuclear) and variable renewable resources (e.g., wind and solar)

• Enable more renewable resources to be integrated

Increasing power quality and solving reliability issues world wide

• Reduce effect of off-site calamities

High cost electricity for end users • Reduce demand charges and optimize time-of-use rates

Relieve grid congestion and price volatility

• Smooth demand

Enable the safe and cost-effective shut-down of aging assets

• Ensure environmental sustainability

Liquid metal battery technologyInnovative new approach to stationary storage• Focus since inception – low-cost energy storage for grid

– Inspired by aluminum smelting– Initial chemistry is Mg||Sb; commercializing undisclosed chemistry that is lower

cost, higher voltage and operates at a lower temperature• Three liquid layer battery

– Self-segregating, easy to assemble, low-cost materials• Unprecedented lifespan potential• Self-heating at commercial system size
