New Large-Scale Iron-Sodium Energy Storage System Passes The Test
Key Takeaway
A new US-based iron-sodium battery technology is emerging as a viable large-scale storage option, offering developers and large consumers an alternative to traditional lithium-ion solutions.
AI Summary
- •US innovator Inlyte Energy successfully completed a full-scale test of its iron-sodium energy storage system, filling a void left by the earlier failure of another sodium battery startup, Natron.
- •This development introduces a new, potentially more stable and domestically sourced, large-scale battery alternative to lithium-ion for developers and large power consumers.
- •The technology offers a promising non-lithium storage solution for integrating renewable energy projects, enhancing grid reliability, and providing backup or firming capacity for industrial operations and IPPs.

Fans of new sodium battery technology suffered a big disappointment earlier this year when the once-promising US energy storage startup Natron shuttered its doors. However, other US innovators have picked up the slack. That includes California-based Inlyte Energy, which has just completed a successful test of its full scale “salt ...
