Natron's patented technology uses Prussian Blue pigment which stores and releases energy in the form of sodium ions. Unlike electrode materials found in most Lithium-ion batteries, Prussian blue enjoys widespread availability and low cost that make batteries using Prussian blue electrodes economical, safe, and environmentally friendly.

The project will result in a cost-competitive, at-scale alternative to Li-ion batteries, and offer superior performance for the high-power/short-duration dispatch and long cycle life requirements of the EV Fast Charging market. As the adoption of EV's continues to grow in California, Natron's batteries can provide rapid, high power charging while minimizing stress on the grid."

"We are thrilled that the CEC selected our proposal to showcase the benefits of Natron technology for EV Fast Charging. "Natron Energy has raised the bar in performance, lifetime, and safety of energy storage based on our patented Prussian blue technology," said Colin Wessells, CEO of Natron Energy. SANTA CLARA, Calif., J/PRNewswire/ - Natron Energy, a provider of battery products using Prussian Blue chemistry, has been awarded a $3 million grant by the California Energy Commission (CEC) for "Advanced Energy Storage for Electric Vehicle Charging Support." Natron will utilize the funds to manufacture and install a high powered, long cycle life energy storage system at an EV Fast Charging station.
