Exergy Storage: pioneering safe and sustainable battery technology

Exergy Storage is advancing the future of energy storage with a breakthrough battery technology that is both intrinsically safe and sustainable. Developed using abundant, low-cost materials, Exergy batteries offer a high-energy-density solution to meet the needs of a renewable energy future. Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries, which can pose fire risks and emit toxic gases, Exergy batteries are based on safe, recyclable materials such as salt, recycled aluminium, and iron. The technology promises long lifespans, high deep cycling capabilities, and closed material cycles, making it an ideal choice for sustainable energy storage.

Founded by Dr Gert Jan Jongerden, who brings a rich background in the chemical and energy sectors, Exergy Storage has assembled a skilled core team and solid value-chain partnerships. Exergy Storage is well-equipped to scale its technology when collaborating with organizations like Nobian, Stanstechniek, Nouryon, the Netherlands Defence Ministry, and top research institutions, including TU Delft, TU Eindhoven, and DIFFER. Jongerden, who previously worked in solar photovoltaic energy, saw the need for scalable, sustainable battery storage solutions to support the energy transition. This realization became the foundation for Exergy’s mission.

A safe and scalable solution for residential and commercial use

Exergy’s battery technology stands out for its superior safety profile, making it suitable for use in densely populated residential areas. Its reliance on widely available materials also allows easy recycling and refurbishing, contributing to a closed-loop cycle that minimizes waste. This design philosophy enables Exergy batteries to perform well in lab and real-world settings, as demonstrated through lab-scale tests and upscaled cells, which have earned the company recognition and accolades, including the Jan Terlouw Award.

Exergy batteries are designed to store and release energy efficiently, enabling maximum use of renewable sources such as solar power. Using an Exergy battery, households with solar panels can increase their self-consumption from around 30% to 70%, reducing reliance on the grid and enhancing energy independence. With rising electricity prices and grid instability, Exergy’s affordable technology offers a viable solution for consumers and the energy sector.

Scaling Up with Optimized Prototypes and Pilots

As Exergy prepares for series production, it works closely with its partners to optimize and validate its technology through prototypes and pilot projects. Exergy is actively seeking additional partners and resources to accelerate the roll-out of its batteries and make affordable, safe, and sustainable energy storage accessible globally.

Exergy Storage’s vision of a sustainable energy future is rooted in practicality, affordability, and safety. By focusing on widely available materials and efficient production methods; Exergy aims to make its battery technology accessible for applications ranging from home energy storage to larger commercial installations. As the demand for renewable energy solutions grows, Exergy’s innovative approach to storage could help shape a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable energy landscape.
