The technology
Form Energy develops iron-air battery technology for multiday energy storage. The technology is intended to help electricity systems manage longer gaps between generation and demand. Read the company's own description.
Why we would invest
Infrastructure has to work across different time scales. Multiday storage addresses a different question from short bursts of power, making it a clear example of why the operating context matters as much as the component.
The partnership we imagine
An partnership would focus on deployment context, customer requirements and the practical work of fitting a new technology into an existing electricity system.
A useful partnership asks clear questions, stays precise about the evidence and helps translate a technical ambition into an operating plan.
