2 GLOBAL ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION AND RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY GENERATION >25,000 Terra Watt hours of energy produced annually! Renewable electricity a rapidly growing sector Source: The Carbon brief

3 Clean, Cost-effective, Sustainable Energy Storage technologies are necessary to support renewable growth! Global Market for different battery chemistries (by revenue) Global Battery Production in MWh Frost and Sullivan, 2009 > 400GWh of rechargeable battery produced in 2015 Primary Alkaline Zn based battery Global annual production exceed 10B units. All the batteries we make now could store less than 10 minutes of all the energy [in the world]. So, in fact, we need a big breakthrough here. Something that's going to be of a factor of 100 better than what we have now. Bill Gates

4 Zinc One of the lowest cost energy storage media with base metals abundantly available in secure locations Battery Technology Electrode Raw Material Cost ($/KWh) Global reserves of raw material (MT) Annual Mining production (MT) Top countries producing raw material Nickel MH Philippines, Russia, Indonesia Lithium Ion Chile, Argentina, Australia Lead Acid China, Australia, USA, Peru Primary Zinc China, Australia, Peru, USA Zinc-Air China, Australia, Peru, USA Primary Zinc based alkaline batteries available commercially at $25-30/KWh. Zinc rechargeability has been a barrier until 2006!

5 FLUIDIC Metal-Air Technology - Quietly Establishing New Benchmarks in the Energy Storage Market + Lowest Cost. Proprietary Rechargeable Zn-Air Technology, ultimately below $100/KWh.
