The Bay Area startup aims to revolutionize the electrical energy sector by accelerating how wind and solar energy are stored. The company's battery is the secret ingredient.
"Our battery, unlike lithium ion, unlike everything else, effectively lasts forever," Heinemann stated.
Heinemann told CBS News Bay Area that as for the hydrogen the batteries contain such tiny amounts, that even when thrown on a fire there has been no demonstrated issue. "That pressure actually forces the hydrogen to recombine with the water inside the battery. The worst thing that can happen is a steam release," explained the CEO.
As noted, the batteries are stationary, and can be mounted in racks, stacked or stored in containers.
