Every day, more renewable energy sources are added to the grid.  That sounds great but today there’s a catch: If green energy isn’t used immediately, it’s wasted. That’s not very green. Or cost-effective. The intensive search for a solution to this power storage problem has not produced a single platform solution that integrates seamlessly with existing grid infrastructure. Until now.

​

GridThink took a proven, 150-year-old electrochemical process and updated it to solve 21st Century energy storage needs. The result is a single platform solution that is scalable, has location flexibility and attractive cost metrics. The process starts with renewable ethanol that enables a process for storing electrical power at all scales through a thermo-electrochemical mechanism.

​

The process uses excess electrical energy from renewable or traditional sources to produce ethane, which can be stored or transported in pipelines for use in conventional turbines.
