Sinergy Flow, established in 2022 in Milan, Italy, develops sustainable redox flow batteries for long-duration energy storage. Founded by Alessandra Accogli, Gabriele Panzeri, and Matteo Salerno, the company creates solutions that enable energy storage for periods exceeding 20 hours. This capability supports the integration of renewable energy sources into power grids, allowing for up to 90% penetration of clean energy. The company’s approach focuses on using abundant materials, particularly sulfur from petrochemical industry waste, making their technology both cost-effective and environmentally responsible.
Battery Technology
Sinergy Flow’s redox flow battery technology represents a significant advancement in sustainable energy storage solutions. The system utilizes earth-abundant materials, particularly sulfur from petrochemical waste streams, reducing reliance on scarce resources and supporting circular economy principles. Their batteries feature a modular design with customizable energy-to-power ratios, enabling flexible deployment across various applications.
The technology stands out for its ability to store energy for extended periods, specifically over 20 hours, addressing the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. This long-duration storage capability proves essential for maintaining stable power supply from solar and wind installations. The cost structure ranges from $30 to $150 per kWh, making it considerably more affordable than traditional alternatives.
The system’s architecture emphasizes sustainability while maintaining high efficiency. By incorporating waste materials into their design, Sinergy Flow reduces environmental impact and minimizes supply chain dependencies on geopolitically sensitive resources.
Recent Projects
As of February 2024, Sinergy Flow continues to advance its technology validation in relevant environments. The company is scaling its device capabilities and preparing for mass production. These developments follow their successful €1.8 million seed funding round secured in November 2022, which enabled team expansion and technological advancement.
Investors
The company’s primary investors include 360 Capital Partners, which led the €1.8 million seed funding round through their fund Poli360. Additional investment came from A+360, an energy transition-focused fund, and Tech4Planet, supported by CDP Venture Capital SGR. This financial backing demonstrates strong confidence in Sinergy Flow’s technology and market potential.
