NASA technology revolutionizes batteries and creates a model with a 30-year lifespan

Company uses NASA technology to develop batteries that last 30 years. Components are recyclable and can contribute to the sustainability of various sectors.

The search for more efficient and sustainable energy sources is one of the main challenges faced by society today. Faced with this scenario, an innovative company comes up with a promising solution: the development of long-lasting batteries, using NASA technology.

These revolutionary batteries have the impressive ability to last up to 30 years, far surpassing the lifespan of conventional batteries. In addition, the company prioritizes sustainability, using recyclable components in its manufacture.

With this technological advance, it is expected that these batteries will contribute significantly to the sustainability of several sectors, offering a viable and ecologically correct alternative for energy storage.

NASA technology can develop batteries that last 30 years

An American company is developing a new technology for sustainable and long-lasting battery to Earth based on the chemistry and engineering that NASA has used for more than 40 years to power the International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope and more.

The company believes that its advances can replace traditional batteries in the long term. According to Jorg Heinemann, CEO of EnerVenue, its technology is much safer than lithium-ion batteries.

The idea behind the tech of the company comes from the work carried out by Stanford University professor Yi Cui, who is also chairman and chief technology consultant at the startup. Cui figured out how to adapt NASA's long-life nickel-hydrogen battery technology for viable use on Earth, using materials that will significantly reduce production costs.

The NASA nickel-hydrogen battery it is suitable for space, as it can withstand the harshest of conditions, including extreme, rapidly changing temperatures.

Batteries that last 30 years are extremely safe, according to the creator. They can also be fully recycled, producing no toxic waste, and their chemistry results in no fire hazard.

EnerVenue solves problems encountered in production 

The only problem encountered with batteries that last 30 years is bringing NASA technology to Earth, as the component is very expensive to produce. However, EnerVenue has created a method of produce metal-hydrogen batteries at a reduced cost and met the high demand from utilities and power generators. According to Heinemann, the company's energy storage vessels are being installed at utility test sites across the United States.

These sites serve to validate EnerVenue's claims and are a precursor to grid-scale integration. In parallel, the company is sharing for industrial markets, including customers for marine operations, oil and gas, mining and as a diesel replacement in island-based applications.

The company also recently announced its plans to open a 1 Million Sq Ft Gigafactory in the US. The executive claims that the unit will produce its batteries that last 30 years with NASA technology for energy storage ships, with a capacity for more than 30 recharge cycles each. These can be stored in racks and can operate for up to 30 years.

Contribution with the use of solar and wind energy

In the short term, EnerVenue sees its technology contributing to the deployment of renewable energy intermittent, including wind and solar. According to the executive, storage plays an essential role in ensuring that excess generation is captured and used when needed, resulting in a less carbon-intensive energy mix and a more stable energy supply.

This strategy makes the company use an approach similar to Ad Astra, from Costa Rica, which also uses the experience of its founder, Franklin Chang Díaz, a former astronaut on the space shuttle.
