Keele University tests new energy storage

Keele University has partnered with a UK technology company to test a new type of energy storage battery which could be used for storing renewable electricity. 

Offgrid Energy Labs is a UK battery technology company that manufactures ZincGel® long-duration energy storage (LDES) batteries.

They have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Keele to deploy the technology on the campus.

It will be the UK's first zinc-LDES project using a battery manufactured entirely in the UK.
