8500 mWh is a pretty small battery, only about 50% bigger than the original iPhone battery
Iron air batteries are made with cheap and abandunt iron. They cost one tenth of lithium ion battery per kWh. Iron-air batteries can store energy for weeks unlike lithium ion battery which is used for peak supplying.
Iron-air batteries have an efficiency of 60%. This can be increased to up to 96% adding small amount of bismuth sulfide.
This new battery plant has a capacity of 8,500 mega watt-hours. (Autocorection turned MWh into mWh in the title mistakenly)
>So far, it has won contracts with traditional utilities to build a few megawatts of power capacity with 100 hours of duration — even signing those contracts is a feat, given utilities’ typical reticence about trying new things.
Getting to that scale is a mighty leap from where they are currently. I guess it’s the 170 million grant that swings this deal but they will at least have a famous demo plant in operation.
