By storing energy in two liquid electrolytes, the technology bypasses the complex and expensive manufacturing steps involved in conventional batteries, finally making scalable electrochemical storage a reality. Compared to conventional redox flow batteries, the membrane-free system enables lower-maintenance operation and significantly lower investment costs.
The effectiveness of the technology will be tested in high-profile projects. Companies like Amazon are working with Unbound Potential to test if the technology can play a major role in the electrification of logistics services. Also, the company is in discussion with FlexBase, which is developing Europe's largest redox flow energy storage project at the “Star of Laufenburg.” An initial pilot plant will go into operation in mid-2026 at the site of a local pilot partner.
“Unbound Potential is at the forefront of industrial transformation, and its battery technology solves one of the greatest challenges of our time: the reliable storage of renewable energy” said Eerik Paasikivi, Founding Partner of Kvanted, co-lead investor. “The feasibility of the technology and approach as well as robust supply chains are clear advantages here. Our investment is a clear commitment to deep tech companies that have the potential to transform entire industries. We are convinced that Unbound Potential's solution is a crucial building block for decarbonisation and energy independence in Europe.”
