Abstract

RedoxBlox, a silicon valley funded high temperature battery startup, has invented a new class of energy storage – thermochemical energy storage (TCES). Much like electrochemical solutions, RedoxBlox uses a chemical reaction to store energy to achieve Li-Ion levels of energy density, but without the need for any rare earth or expensive materials – meaning a cost of storage an order of magnitude lower than other current options. RedoxBlox units can be used to store electricity for the grid, or used directly to replace natural gas in industrial heating process, such as steam generation, furnaces, dryers, reactors, and many others.

Come hear from ERE alumni (2014), Scott McNally on the startup journey and how his company is changing the energy storage landscape.
