It claims zero operating cost and maintenance need, and a virtually unlimited lifecycle regardless of charging pattern. Ambri''s battery is comprised of a liquid calcium alloy anode, a molten salt electrolyte and a cathode comprised of solid particles of antimony, which allow for a unique set of operating characteristics that mean it
Ambri was set up in 2010 and more than a decade later, its energy storage solution has obtained the UL 1973 certification allowing it to be used for stationary as well as motive auxiliary power applications. Ambri’s projected energy storage cost hovers around $200 per kWh, which is almost fifty percent lower than lithium-ion storage.
Ambri Liquid Metal battery technology fundamentally changes the way electric grids operate by increasing the contribution from renewable sources – enabling grid-scale solar and wind farms to replace coal, oil and natural gas peaker plants.
Ambri’s sustainable, American-made batteries are built for daily cycling – even in extreme, harsh environments. Unlike rival technologies, Liquid Metal batteries have minimal degradation and can last for over 20 years.
Ambri battery cells are highly tolerant of over-charging or over-discharging, and are not subject to thermal runaway, electrolyte decomposition, or electrolyte off-gassing, each of which could lead to significant safety events with other cell chemistries. Ambri batteries are responsibly produced and their materials can be reused.
Ambri systems are particularly suited for high-usage applications, such as shifting energy from daytime solar generation to evening and morning peak load times. The batteries are designed to last for durations ranging from 4 to 24 hours. The company is securing customers for large-scale projects with commercial operation dates in 2023 and beyond.
The technology will be deployed at a 300 kWh storage system built for the utility company Xcel Energy in Aurora, Colorado, and is expected to be operational by next year. In the future, you could potentially see Ambri’s liquid metal batteries support Microsoft’s data centers after the Redmond-Washington-based company trialed them last year.
