Today at an event in North Carolina with Governor Roy Cooper, North Carolina Commerce Secretary Machelle Baker Sanders, and local officials, Natron is announcing plans for the construction of the United States’ first-ever giga-scale sodium-ion battery manufacturing facility in Edgecombe County. This nearly $1.4 billion facility will serve as a flag in the ground for the domestic sodium-ion battery manufacturing movement, and we are eager to have the opportunity to contribute to the rich tradition of clean tech innovation in North Carolina, where this facility will support more than 1,000 high-quality jobs. Natron co-CEO’s Colin Wessells and Wendell Brooks sat down with Amrith Ramkumar for his article in the The Wall Street Journal to discuss the plans for the facility, the U.S. domestic battery supply chain movement, and the company’s exciting growth trajectory. “We are sprinting to get a second plant built as fast as we can,” said Colin Wessells, co-chief executive of Natron. “It’s really a market demand signal that’s stimulating us to invest more and more.” READ MORE HERE: https://lnkd.in/ghDKFRgu #batteryinnovation #batterytechnology #sodiumion #energy #energystorage #cleanenergy #battery #cleantech #manufacturing #cleantechmanufacturing #industrialpower

Sodium-Ion Batteries for Data Center and Industrial Power Applications
About us
Natron designs and manufactures sodium-ion batteries based on a unique Prussian blue electrode chemistry that delivers superior performance, safety and sustainability compared to traditional alternatives. Our batteries provide backup and supplemental power and support decarbonization in data centers, oil and gas, aviation, solar and other industrial environments. Natron’s sodium-ion batteries outperform lithium-ion and lead acid batteries in power density, recharging speed, and expected cycle life. Natron’s sodium-ion batteries are inherently safe, non-hazardous and nonflammable, simplifying transportation and storage and eliminating flammability risks associated with other battery technologies. Natron offers the only sodium-ion battery to meet UL 1973 standards and Natron’s complete UL 9540A test report is available to the public. Learn more at natron.energy.

You asked for UPS testing and we delivered. Natron's Santa Clara test lab is now open for active tests and demonstrations of our 250kW battery cabinet with UPS and load bank. Reach out to our sales team to schedule a visit. Bring your load profiles so we can model them on both the 250kW BlueRack and our BluePack 25kW battery.

We are excited to be a part of the inaugural Yotta conference and a key contributor to the ongoing conversations around building power systems and data centers suitable for AI workloads.
Vertiv is joining #YOTTA2024 as a Platinum Partner! As a global leader in critical infrastructure solutions, Vertiv ensures its customers' vital applications run continuously and perform optimally, solving AI workload challenges for today’s data centers and beyond. Joining us on the Yotta Mainstage is Vertiv CEO Giordano Albertazzi, who leads Vertiv’s global team of 27,000, focusing on improving data centers' performance and resilience while making infrastructure more sustainable through innovative designs and smart grids. He will be speaking with Zayo Group CEO Steve Smith in their session “Preparing Digital Infrastructure for the Next Technology Tidal Wave.” But that’s not all! Don't miss the featured session "How Do We Rethink Data Center Power Architecture for Entirely New Workload Profiles Like AI?" moderated by Gregory Ratcliff, Vertiv’s Chief Innovation Officer, with insights from experts like Razvan Panati (Bloom Energy), Wade Vinson (NVIDIA), Dave Bell (VoltaGrid), and Jack Pouchet (Natron Energy). Vertiv is also sponsoring "The Data Center of the Future" track with opening remarks provided by Martin Olsen, Vertiv’s SVP of Products & Solutions. Additionally, as a member of the Liquid Cooling Coalition, Vertiv will be supporting the Liquid Cooling Pavilion in the Yotta Expo, which will feature cutting-edge solutions for implementing liquid cooling. Register now to hear more about Vertiv's vision for the future at Yotta in Vegas this October!

As the data center community prepares to invest over One Trillion Dollars in upgrades and new facilities to accommodate AI workloads it is very reassuring to know that Natron batteries are powering up peace of mind. When a power anomaly happens, data centers need "right now" power to maintain uptime. The increase in AI loads has only increased data center critical power requirements. High power, high cycle battery solutions like the BluePack™ are more important than ever. Quick Facts: -Can provide 100% of its rated power over a two-minute discharge period -Can immediately release its power load without thermal settling or cooling -Can fully recharge in as little as 15 minutes -Can operate in a bi-directional discharge/charge mode with no waiting -Can help you manage AI workload power system anomalies

Do AI workloads have you rethinking your electrical infrastructure? Visit with our team next week at the 7x24 Exchange International Spring 2024 Data Center Conference to discuss practical solutions available today. #datacenter #AI #energystorage

The U.S. data center industry is booming - spurred by the immense computing power needed to support AI. The demand for 100% uptime and power supply is rising, but the power grid often struggles to meet this. When AI servers go into learning mode, loads can sometimes spike more than the grid can handle. Backup power supplies must be completely reliable to cover these gaps without interruption. Natron's Prussian blue sodium-ion batteries are an outstanding choice for this mission-critical environment because they're incapable of thermal runaway, their full power capacity is instantly available (no startup time), and can fully recharge in around 15 minutes. #energystorage #datacenter For more info: https://bit.ly/44PDcJe

Friends: After 12 years of company building, today we at Natron are proud to announce the opening of our first sodium-ion battery production facility in Holland, Michigan. This marks our first step towards a complete domestic minerals-to-systems supply chain for advanced batteries. If you are a customer who needs better batteries for advanced compute or grid power management, we at Natron have a solution for you. And if you are someone who cares about energy independence and creating high quality jobs in advanced technology manufacturing, we have a solution for you as well. Congratulations to our entire Natron team, ARPA-E, and ND Capital for reaching this amazing milestone. Our future is bright!
Today, we announced the opening of the United States’ first-ever commercial-scale sodium-ion battery manufacturing facility in Holland, MI. We are proud to contribute to the fast-growing clean energy sector in Michigan, where our new facility will support more than 100 high-quality jobs. Our Holland facility is projected to produce 600 MW of sodium-ion batteries annually, serving as a blueprint for future Natron giga-scale facilities. Our sodium-ion batteries offer higher power density, higher cycle life, a domestic U.S. supply chain, no flammability concerns, and no use of lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, or other difficult-to-obtain minerals. Special thanks to Holland Mayor Nathan Bocks and Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) Director Evelyn Wang, PhD, for joining us at today’s ribbon-cutting event, as well as to our customers and investors for their support leading up to this milestone.
