CSIRO powering up in US market

Science - Energy

Dr Wonhas said he was pleased to see an Australian-developed technology achieving success in the international arena, and the Department of Energy grant marked a significant endorsement of UltraBattery by the US Government.

“UltraBattery is an exciting product that could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector and CSIRO is thrilled to be working closely with East Penn to develop the technology in North America.

“The collaboration and UltraBattery’s ongoing success reinforces the valuable link between quality research and commercial development.”

Dr Wonhas said the UltraBattery technology was not yet licensed in Australia for automotive applications and the CSIRO was accepting expressions of interest for manufacture and distribution of the technology in this region.

According to Dr Wonhas, the UltraBattery technology also has applications for renewable energy storage from wind and solar, and CSIRO was part of a technology start-up that would develop and commercialise battery-based storage solutions for these energy sources.
