A newly-formed Albuquerque startup, Flow Aluminum Inc., is now working to take that novel technology out of UNM labs and into the marketplace, with help from local and out-of-state business accelerator programs, and with manufacturing assistance from Oregon-based Polaris. . A new startup company is working to develop aluminum-based, low-cost energy storage systems for electric vehicles and microgrids., founded in May 2023 in Albuquerque, develops advanced aluminum-CO₂ battery technology as a safe, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative to lithium-ion. Their high-performance, non-flammable batteries are used in electric vehicles, grid storage, and more, supporting the. . Flow Aluminum is a high performance 500 Wh/kg battery that uses aluminum instead of lithium and intakes CO2 instead of using cobalt and nickel. The aluminum is 100% recycled creating the ultimate green battery. The battery functions as direct air capture in that it intakes CO2 and is not flammable. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced an investment of $25 million across 11 projects to advance materials, processes, machines, and equipment for domestic manufacturing of next - generation batteries. Aluminum air chemistry can achieve high energy density but historically has encountered issues with rechargeability and clogging from reaction. .
