BioZen Redoxolyte™ electrolytes are the energy storage materials for tomorrow — inspired by the most abundant energy storage on earth.
To meet Paris Climate Agreement goals the US needs 200 gigawatts (GW) of long-duration grid-scale energy storage by 2035. In 2024, the US has 26 GW [1] with another 20 GW planned for 2025.
Ramping up in time will take energy storage materials that are dramatically easier to access, abundant, safer, and cheaper to produce than the leading battery materials today.
Collectively, green plants store more energy in their cells than all other living things on earth combined [2].
Their secret is in using organic semiconductors to convert and store electricity — a method BioZen has mimicked in its patent-pending Redoxolyte™ electrolytes.
