AquaBattery is a deep-tech company based in the Netherlands working to revolutionise green energy storage. Our mission is to cut energy bills and catalyse the development and uptake of renewable energy technologies across the EU and beyond. We recognise that renewable energy is only part of the solution, and only through pairing it with cheap and scalable energy storage solutions can truly make an impact. AquaBattery was founded in Leiden in 2014 to commercialise the world's cleanest energy storage solution: a battery that can store renewable energy in water and salt (such as seawater). Our team is composed of leading experts in water membrane technologies and the energy storage industry, combined with the leadership of visionary founder Dr. Jiajun Cen. Together, the team combines 50+ years of engineering experience with 25+ years in business and management.
We are supported by a network of exceptional partners, such as Climate-KIC, TU Delft, The Green Village Delft, and technical experts at Imperial College London, REDStack, and Wetsus. Our technology has been successfully demonstrated through several prominent installations in the Netherlands and in Italy and has reached TRL 6. Our saltwater battery is a flow battery where power and storage capacity are decoupled. The user can decide on how large the respective components of power or storage capacity need to be in other to suit the application. The cost for scaling up the storage capacity is low, one just need a larger tank, some salt and water. At locations where space is not the limiting factor, we can realise virtually unlimited storage capacities. This makes our battery very well suited for long-duration storage (10+ hrs).
