Introducing FeRON™

Iron-air chemistry for resilient, affordable long-duration storage

Iron is abundant, low-cost, and inherently safe. By pairing iron with ambient oxygen, FeRON enables multi-day energy storage without exotic materials, allowing grids to ride through renewable intermittency at a fraction of lithium-ion or flow battery cost.

Iron-air chemistry: the future of low-cost long-duration storage

Iron-based batteries leverage India's abundant domestic iron supply for grid-native, multi-hour energy storage. FeRON's metal-air architecture avoids lithium import dependency while enabling safe, aqueous chemistry for utility yards and industrial campuses.

The reaction

Making Rust Reversible

Our technology transforms a naturally one-way process into a rechargeable energy storage cycle. During discharge, iron reacts with oxygen and water to form iron hydroxide or rust-like discharge products while releasing electrical energy. During charging, the engineered electrochemical system drives the reaction in reverse, regenerating metallic iron and completing the storage cycle.
