BATRI Ltd, a pioneering force in sustainable energy storage, is a UK-based company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Bridgend, Wales. Specializing in sodium-ion battery technology, the company develops advanced materials, cells, and energy storage solutions to advance global clean energy adoption. BATRI’s focus is on creating affordable and environmentally responsible alternatives to conventional lithium-ion batteries, addressing supply chain challenges and ecological concerns. The company offers a portfolio spanning anode materials, battery cells, and full energy storage systems tailored for applications ranging from stationary energy storage to green mobility.
BATRI’s vision is to “Empower a global energy revolution with sustainable, cutting-edge solutions that protect our planet for generations to come.” Its mission reflects a commitment to innovation by “Unleashing the power of innovation to create green energy game-changers,” supported by core values emphasizing collaboration, environmental stewardship, and data-driven progress. With a ten-year research foundation and robust intellectual property, BATRI positions itself as a leader in enabling the transition to net-zero emissions through scalable, low-impact technology.
Battery Technology
BATRI’s core innovation centers on sodium-ion battery technology, leveraging its proprietary Composite Carbon Anode Material to enhance performance and reduce costs. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, which rely on scarce and often geopolitically concentrated minerals, sodium-ion systems use abundant, widely accessible sodium. This reduces reliance on supply chain vulnerabilities and lowers production costs while maintaining high energy densities and stability.
The company’s anode material is engineered for high power output, improving cycle life and charging efficiency while remaining cost-effective. BATRI’s research prioritizes sustainable practices, incorporating locally sourced raw materials to minimize environmental impact. Current applications focus on stationary storage systems, such as residential and commercial energy banks, grid-scale installations for renewables integration, and on-site solar canopies paired with EV charging.
While automotive use is under exploration, BATRI’s immediate efforts target grid and industrial markets. Partnerships with institutions like Swansea University and Korean firms like Korea BTS and Kangwon National University drive advancements in certification and commercial readiness. These collaborations ensure BATRI’s solutions align with international safety and performance standards, accelerating their adoption in global markets.
Recent Projects
In January 2025, BATRI secured £2.5 million in funding from Innovate UK’s SNaP (Stable sodium-ion battery packs for stationary energy storage) project. This initiative supports the development of UK-designed sodium-ion cells using locally procured materials, reducing dependency on imported critical minerals. The project also aims to validate BATRI’s sodium-ion solution for grid energy storage, enabling renewables integration and off-peak energy utilization.
The company has also expanded its international partnership network, collaborating with Korean industry partners, including Ulsan Technopark and the Advanced Materials Technology Center (AMTC), to advance cell manufacturing and testing. These alliances accelerate scalability and market entry in both Asian and European markets. Simultaneously, BATRI maintains ties with Swansea University to refine certification processes for its materials and systems, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
Investors
BATRI’s development has been supported by key grants, notably from Innovate UK’s SNaP program in 2025. The company’s close alignment with academic and industry research partners in the UK and Korea has also facilitated access to shared resources and expertise. While detailed investor structures are not publicly disclosed, BATRI’s funding strategy emphasizes government-backed initiatives and strategic collaborations to achieve technological and commercial milestones.
