Welcome to the thirty-eighth issue of “Sodium-ion Batteries Technology Updates,” a series from Indi Energy, one of the world’s leading sodium battery companies and India’s first indigenous sodium-ion battery manufacturers.

Indi Energy is a DRDO 3.0, NSA’22, & SIDBI Environmental Challenge’24 winner and one of the world’s leading sodium battery companies involved in developing, and commercializing sodium-ion batteries and customizable sodium-ion battery packs.

Can Bi-directional charging transform renewable energy use?

At Indi Energy, one of India’s first sodium battery companies, we are committed to pioneering sustainable energy solutions that drive innovation and efficiency. But this time around, the innovation we are most excited about is bidirectional charging technology that can potentially transform the way we store and use renewable energy.

Imagine a future where electric vehicles (EVs) serve as giant power banks, seamlessly integrating with the grid, allowing EVs to draw power from the grid and inject stored energy back into it. While still in its infancy, bidirectional EV charging presents an entirely new use case. Not only does it improve the stability of the electricity grid, but it also provides additional revenue streams for automakers and lowers utility costs for consumers.

And what’s even more amazing is that Indi Energy’s sodium-ion batteries can maximize the benefit of bidirectional EV charging twofold:

1. Cost-Efficiency: Sodium’s abundance translates to lower production costs, making energy solutions more accessible and aligning with our commitment to affordability.
2. Reliability and Safety: Sodium-ion batteries offer enhanced safety with no risk of thermal runaway, ensuring robust performance in diverse conditions without compromising safety.
3. Extended Battery Life: With a longer lifespan than lithium-ion batteries, our sodium-ion solutions endure prolonged charge-discharge cycles, reducing environmental impact.
4. Rapid Charge & Discharge: Rapid response times enable quick adaptation to energy demands, maximizing renewable energy utilization by efficiently storing excess energy.

At Indi Energy, we are charting a course toward a sustainable future—an energy ecosystem built on the resiliency and efficiency of sodium-ion battery technology.

India soars in Global Energy Rankings!

On June 19, 2024, the World Economic Forum released its latest Energy Transition Index 🌍, ranking India 63rd, emphasizing our nation’s remarkable progress in sustainable energy efforts 🌱. India’s per capita emissions are just 1.7 tonnes of CO2—60% lower than the global average of 4.4 tonnes per capita.

The ETI evaluates 120 economies’ energy system performance in economic development, environmental sustainability, and energy security, assessing their readiness for secure, sustainable, affordable, and inclusive energy systems 🔍

Indi Energy takes immense pride in India’s consistent rise in the ETI rankings 📈. We are committed to accelerating India’s energy transition through innovative and sustainable energy storage solutions. 

At Indi Energy, we are harnessing sodium, one of Earth’s most abundant elements, integrating it with our proprietary, BioBlackTM—bio waste and agricultural waste derived organic hard carbon, sodium-ion cathode, and sustainable liquid sodium electrolyte. They form the core components of our sodium-ion batteries and customizable sodium-ion battery packs, capable of delivering optimum performance while setting the industry’s highest safety standards. 

Our sodium-ion battery technology represents a cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional lithium-based batteries 🔋, ensuring affordable and accessible energy storage solutions that will promote sustainable energy practices, benefiting society and driving economic growth.

The potential impact of our sodium-ion batteries on climate action has led to Energy Alternatives India and The Better India naming Indi Energy as one of its “Top 100 Innovative Indian Startups in Climate Action,” and “5 Innovating Startups Revolutionising India’s Renewable Energy Sector.”
