Game Changing Solid State Sodium Chloride Batteries for Grid Storage and UPS.

Altech has executed a joint venture agreement with leading German battery institute, Fraunhofer IKTS (“IKTS”) to commercialise the Sodium Chloride Solid State (SCSS) Battery.

Altech, together with associated entity Altech Advanced Materials AG, is the majority owner at 75% of the joint venture company to commercialise a 100 MWh project to be situated at Altech’s site in Schwarze Pumpe, Saxony, Germany.

SCSS batteries, brand named CERENERGY® Battery, use high-purity alumina for the critical ceramic solid state electrolyte, which is a strong link to Altech’s core business and competency.

The SCSS batteries are lithium, graphite, copper and cobalt free, and instead use sodium (common table salt).
