Zinc Air ready to unveil new large-scale battery technology that could transform energy industry

After nearly three years of development in its Columbia Falls facility, Zinc Air Inc. http://www.zincairinc.com/ is poised to release a state-of-the-art battery technology that could revolutionize the global energy grid and vault the local company to the forefront of a trillion-dollar market.

The company’s team of scientists and engineers has finished work on its advanced battery modules that can store large amounts of energy generated by existing utilities and renewable sources like wind and solar. The Zinc Redox battery is designed to provide a low-cost, environmentally safe solution to vast inefficiencies and imbalances within the energy grid. It could also provide renewable sources, like wind farms, a new ability to store unused energy that could be used later.
