Boosting aluminium-ion battery innovation for sustainable energy storage with Sakuu® and ELEQTRION’s latest alliance

Sakuu®, a leading provider of commercial-scale battery manufacturing equipment and technology, has announced a joint development agreement with ELEQTRION, a Quebec-based innovator in aluminium-ion battery technology. The collaboration will capitalise on Kavian’s cost-effectiveness and reduced carbon footprint to drive advancements in sustainable energy.

By combining Sakuu’s Kavian™ platform with ELEQTRION’s specialised battery electrodes, the partnership aims to accelerate the development of aluminium-ion batteries for a range of applications, from small to large-scale energy storage and e-mobility solutions.  As global demand for reliable and sustainable energy storage continues to rise, the development of alternative battery chemistries has become essential.

Robert Bagheri, founder and CEO at Sakuu, said, “Our Kavian platform is designed to enable manufacturing innovation for high volume manufacturers as well as the most disruptive companies using cutting edge technology. Our partnership with ELEQTRION is a testament to the platform’s versatility. Together, we will explore how Kavian can be used to produce aluminium-ion batteries at scale, offering a cleaner and more efficient solution for energy storage needs around the world.”

About the joint development

The joint development plan between Sakuu and ELEQTRION will focus on advancing aluminium-ion batteries and their potential deployment across various applications. These batteries aim to improve the efficiency and sustainability of energy storage systems, from industrial and residential to grid-scale use, among other sectors.

Sakuu’s Kavian platform delivers unmatched flexibility, scalability, and sustainability in battery production, enabling the manufacture of batteries across multiple chemistries, including aluminium-ion. Aluminium-ion is rapidly gaining traction as a preferred material for large-scale energy storage applications thanks to its high energy density, safety features, and the abundance of aluminium as a resource.

William Reynold, CEO at ELEQTRION, commented, “Our partnership with Sakuu marks a major milestone in the development of our innovative battery alternative and towards industrialisation.By harnessing the power of aluminium-ion batteries, we’re taking a significant step toward creating energy systems that are not only more sustainable but safer and also more adaptable to the future’s growing demands.”
