Activated Energy is developing a revolutionary solid-state carbon dioxide storage technology, utilizing sustainable materials for a scalable and compact pressure-based energy storage system. While most current energy storage solutions are built on toxic, flammable, and expensive starting materials, our storage technology is non-degrading, non-toxic, non-flammable and removes carbon from our atmosphere. Our system is poised to replace polluting fossil fuel peaker plants in urban communities, enabling increased reliance on renewables while increasing grid resilience to natural disasters, storms, blackouts, and transient energy events. Follow our journey as we challenge the compromises that have been made for conventional energy storage systems.
