World's First Zinc-Ion Battery Megafactory Opens in Sweden ⚡

Summary:


  1. New Zinc-Ion Battery Factory
    Sweden’s Enerpoly has launched the world’s first zinc-ion battery megafactory, set to reach 100 MWh annual capacity by 2026. This facility will support Europe’s demand for safe and sustainable energy storage.

  2. Advantages of Zinc-Ion Batteries
    Zinc-ion batteries are safer and more cost-effective than lithium-ion alternatives. They use a water-based electrolyte, reducing fire risk, and are less expensive due to zinc’s abundance. They also offer a longer lifespan of up to 20 years compared to lithium-ion’s 12 years.

  3. Eco-Friendly and Low Maintenance
    These batteries are more eco-friendly and require less maintenance. They operate across a broader temperature range and are less dependent on extensive mining processes.
