Sodion Energy, a Singapore-based provider of sodium-ion batteries for e-mobility and integrated energy storage solutions in Southeast Asia, has secured an agreement to acquire an initial supply of 10 MWh of advanced sodium-ion batteries from UNIGRID Inc., a California-based innovator in sodium-ion battery technology. This strategic partnership aims to address the rising demand in the region for affordable, environmentally friendly, and high-performance battery solutions in both the mobility and energy storage sectors.
“Our collaboration with UNIGRID is a game-changer,” said Dr. CC Hang, Chairman of Sodion Energy. “These next-generation sodium-ion batteries will allow us to tackle key markets, starting with lead-acid battery replacements in e-mobility and extending into large-scale renewable energy projects and grid stabilization initiatives.”
Sodium-ion batteries offer several advantages over traditional battery technologies. They are cost-efficient and utilize abundant raw materials, making them a sustainable choice for energy storage solutions. Enhanced safety features, including intrinsic non-flammability, and fast-charging capabilities make them particularly suitable for Southeast Asia’s tropical climate and rapidly expanding energy needs.
This collaboration enhances Sodion Energy’s ability to provide tailored battery solutions that meet the diverse needs of industries such as mobility and energy storage. By integrating UNIGRID’s advanced sodium-ion batteries, Sodion Energy aims to contribute significantly to renewable energy projects and efforts to stabilize the electrical grid in Southeast Asia.
With a strategic focus on advanced battery technologies, Sodion Energy is positioned to play a key role in the region’s transition to cleaner, safer, and more sustainable energy solutions. The company’s commitment to innovative energy storage aligns with the growing emphasis on environmental considerations and the adoption of renewable energy sources in the region.
