Underhyped Tech - Organic Flow Batteries

StorTera recently worked on an emerging economy project using organic flow batteries in collaboration with the Faraday Institution and University of Strathclyde.

Organic flow batteries offer a fresh take on energy storage—safe, scalable, and surprisingly sustainable. Instead of relying on scarce metals, they use carbon-based molecules and liquid electrolytes to store and release power. That means fewer supply chain risks, lower toxicity, and longer lifespans. These batteries are especially useful for managing renewable energy, supporting microgrids, and bringing reliable power to off-grid communities. While still emerging, they’re already showing promise where conventional batteries fall short.
