The problem is challenging. How do you economically store energy from widely distributed renewable production and other sources and form a bridge to centralized utility power infrastructure so that the stored energy can be used where and, especially, when it’s needed? Up until now, there was no single answer. GridThink can change that.
Our unique grid-storage solution is based on an electrochemical-thermal process that can convert a wide range of renewable and non-renewable carbon feedstocks into ethane gas using electricity. This allows for a storage solution that integrates seamlessly with existing power generation infrastructure. Our solution can scale from one single facility to a global solution.
The GridThink solution is the single platform location-independent energy storage solution able to scale to meet the current and future storage needs of the energy grid.
BENEFITS INCLUDE:
Enables highly accelerated onboarding of renewable energy, such as wind and solar
Incurs no round-trip storage losses
Low cost – less than 5 cents/kWh when deployed at scale
Uses flexible feedstocks ranging from renewable sources to clean coal
Location independent – unlike pumped hydro—and has minimal site selection restrictions
