Form Energy is building the world's largest battery in Maine, USA, which will support the grid with 100 hours of power at 85 MW.
The project will use iron-air batteries that are easier to build, maintain and also recycle at the end of their life.Somerville, Massachusetts-based Form Energy plans to convert the former paper and pulp mill site in Lincoln, Maine, to one housing the world’s biggest battery installation, injecting up to 85 MW of power into the grid at a time.
Lithium-ion batteries are currently the only go-to solution for versatile energy storage. However, the technology is expensive, has limited hours of output, and also comes with a risk, especially in areas with extreme temperatures. Form Energy uses iron-air technology, which is one-tenth as expensive to deploy, can provide 100 hours of energy output, does not catch fire, and is also easier to recycle. Iron-air batteries use simple and ubiquitous materials: iron, water, and air.
Form Energy will use its power packs to store 85 MW of power with a discharge level of 100 hours, making it the biggest battery in the world.
