Carbo Energy grew out of engineering work on a battery chemistry that sustained more than 8,000 charge cycles in laboratory validation, the formulation its team identifies as the basis of its technology. The company develops hybrid non-aqueous redox flow batteries for grid-scale, long-duration storage. Its containerized modules are designed to fit a standard shipping container.
The battery pairs a chloroaluminate anolyte with a phenothiazine catholyte in a diglyme medium, a non-pyrophoric chemistry that avoids the fire risk of lithium-ion systems, with a stated 40-year system lifespan through electrolyte refresh. Its systems run alongside CarboOS, an AI-driven battery-management platform with predictive maintenance and energy-arbitrage optimization. The offering serves grid-scale storage and trading, datacenter backup, off-grid mining operations, and solar and wind farm co-location.
