Welcome to the forty-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.
As part of the Make in India initiative, Indi Energy has its own supply chain for our sodium-ion batteries, which is completely indigenous, a.k.a. homegrown. We are setting a new benchmark in the energy storage sector by transforming energy storage solutions sustainably.
In this forty-eighth issue of sodium-ion battery technology updates, we will go through the recent updates in the world of sodium-ion batteries, the energy sector, and an overview of the global energy outlook.
A look at Indi Energy’s Sodium-ion batteries life cycle
At Indi Energy, one of the world’s leading sodium battery companies, sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s a commitment. As a leading sodium-ion battery manufacturer, we prioritize safety, sustainability, and quality across every facet of our operations. From responsibly sourcing materials like sodium and bio/organic waste to pioneering high-performance batteries for diverse applications, our dedication to sustainable practices sets us apart.
We’re not just building batteries; we’re building a future where energy independence is powered by innovation and care for our planet. Our supply chain reflects this ethos, focusing on reducing environmental impact and maximizing resource efficiency. Every step, from sourcing to dismantling and material recovery, is designed with sustainability in mind.
Sodium-ion batteries – The revolution India needs!
As the global shift towards renewable energy accelerates, the critical need for advanced energy storage solutions becomes increasingly evident. Efficient energy storage is essential for unlocking the full potential of wind and solar power, which are central to this transition. While lithium-ion batteries are currently the dominant technology and represent a significant improvement over fossil fuels, there’s a major issue. The production of lithium batteries cannot continue at the current rate because lithium, cobalt, and nickel deposits are already at risk of depletion, and the eventuality of these resources running out is rapidly approaching. It is inevitable!
But we have a solution! At Indi Energy, we’ve dedicated the last five years to developing sodium-ion batteries—progressing from research and prototype development to large-scale production. By leveraging sodium and biowaste, we’ve created a truly sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries. Sodium is more abundant and globally accessible than lithium and cobalt, which significantly reduces geopolitical and supply chain vulnerabilities. By utilizing these plentiful raw materials, our sodium-ion batteries offer a more resilient and stable energy storage solution.
But that’s not all! The future of energy storage in India is shining bright! NITI Aayog has projected a demand of 260 GWh by 2030, with grid-scale storage taking the lead. This presents an excellent opportunity for the nation to build a domestic high-tech industry, supporting our collective push for renewables and unlocking safe, low-cost electric mobility.
Indi Energy is excited to be a part of this transformation! Our journey began with a bold vision: to revolutionize energy storage and support a sustainable future. Driven by our commitment to innovation, we have developed sodium-ion battery technology that stands out for its efficiency and sustainability. What truly sets our sodium-ion batteries apart is their versatility and safety. They are not only cost-effective but also offer energy efficiency comparable to lithium-ion batteries. More importantly, they are immune to fire and explosion risks due to their resistance to thermal runaway, making them a safer choice for a wide range of applications.
Our sodium-ion batteries are designed to excel in diverse scenarios, from powering telecom towers in remote areas to enhancing grid storage and supporting electric vehicles. Their fast charging capability and superior temperature stability make them perfectly suited for India’s varied climate and energy needs, positioning them as a transformative force in the energy sector.
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.”
