Beyonder AS is a Norwegian energy storage technology company dedicated to transforming the high-capacity battery market. Established in 2016 and headquartered in Sandnes, Norway, Beyonder develops eco-friendly, cost-effective, and energy-efficient battery solutions to support the global transition to renewable energy. The company’s mission is to become a leading provider of sustainable high-capacity battery cell technology, enabling industries to adopt greener energy practices.
Battery Technology
Beyonder specializes in advanced battery technologies tailored for industrial use. One of its core innovations is the Lithium-Ion Capacitor (LiC) technology, which combines the benefits of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. The LiC uses sustainable materials such as super-activated carbon derived from forestry residues for the cathode and silicon from sand for the anode. This unique design enables ultra-fast charging, with a full charge achieved in just two minutes, and an impressive cycle life of up to 100,000 recharges.
In addition to LiC technology, Beyonder offers advanced Li-ion battery solutions with a 5C charging capability, allowing full charging or discharging in 10-12 minutes. These batteries are made without cobalt, nickel, or graphite and can last over 10,000 cycles. Both technologies are engineered to provide high-power density and reliability, making them ideal for demanding applications such as renewable energy storage, heavy transport, and maritime systems.
Recent Projects
In recent years, Beyonder has achieved significant milestones, reflecting its commitment to innovation and sustainability. One notable development is the offtake agreement with EBZ nano power for 76 MWh of BePowered products. This agreement supports the integration of Beyonder’s eco-friendly battery solutions into e-mobility and industrial applications, furthering the company’s mission to drive sustainable energy adoption.
Beyonder has also partnered with Hitachi Energy Norway AS to advance sustainable energy solutions. This collaboration highlights the company’s focus on leveraging its technology to support grid stabilization and renewable energy integration. Additionally, Beyonder has demonstrated advanced charging solutions for electric vehicles, showcasing its ability to meet the growing demand for efficient and scalable energy storage systems.
Investors
Beyonder has attracted investments from prominent organizations to support its growth and innovation. Key investors include Equinor Ventures, Arendals Fossekompani, DSD Investering, and Must Invest. These investors have recognized the potential of Beyonder’s technology to contribute to the green transition.
In 2022, Equinor Ventures took a minority interest in Beyonder and secured a board seat, emphasizing its confidence in the company’s mission. Similarly, Arendals Fossekompani invested in Beyonder, with its representative joining the board.
