What is a flow ba4ery?

 • First explored in the 1970s

 • RelaLvely li4le investment
   compared to Li-ion

 • Cost-effecLve at scale

 • Long lifeLme

 • Best for long-discharge
   (energy) applicaLons

Quinones are a high-performance, low-cost, green
chemistry for the future of energy storage

•    Non-toxic and contain earth-abundant atoms
•    Can be synthesized at industrial scale
•    Inexpensive compared to Vanadium
•    Undergo extremely rapid redox reacLons
•    Permit use of inexpensive membrane
•    High energy density
•    Stable and long-lived
•     Can be tuned through organic chemical synthesis to improve cell
    performance
Research and commercial development

•   Research support from ARPA-E

•   Exclusively licensed to Green Energy Storage for commercial development
    in Europe
