The company plans to commercialize its calcium-antimony liquid metal battery chemistry and open manufacturing facilities to deliver projects in 2023 and beyond. Ambri Inc., an MIT-spinoff long-duration battery energy storage system developer, secured $144 million in funding to advance calcium-antimony liquid metal battery chemistry.
Unlike many battery tech startups that claim to be disruptive, Ambri's liquid metal battery is actually an improvement for large-scale stationary energy storage. Founded in 2010 by Donald Sodaway, a professor of materials chemistry at MIT, the startup saw Bill Gates as its angel investor with a funding of $6.9 Million.
For GWh-sized deployments, Ambri-based 1-MWh systems are modular and scalable to meet demand. Ambri battery cells are highly tolerant of over-charging or over-discharging, and are not subject to thermal runaway, electrolyte decomposition, or electrolyte off-gassing, each of which could lead to significant safety events with other cell chemistries.
Ambri is using some of the investment money from Reliance Industries to build the Innovation hub. This hub will be home to Ambri's expanded R&D lab and host an on-site Ambri pilot system. It further will enable the company to significantly broaden its manufacturing operations.
