(PRWEB) March 05, 2018Ī collaboration between Natron Energy and scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and New York University has resulted in the discovery of a novel chemical state of the element manganese – first proposed about 90 years ago. On May 4, Natron said it was teaming up with lead batteries giant Clarios to manufacture what they said would be the world’s first mass-produced sodium ion batteries.Ĭlarios said then that its Meadowbrook facility in Michigan would become “the world’s largest sodium ion battery plant when mass production begins in 2023” - placing the US at the forefront of sodium ion battery manufacturing.SANTA CLARA, Calif. Natron claims its battery technology is ideally suited to support pressure pumping applications with highly variable power load requirements. Natron co-founder and CEO Colin Wessells said: “Our partnership with Liberty dramatically accelerates Natron’s expansion into oil and gas markets with the introduction of battery storage in the completion services industry.” Liberty president Ron Gusek said: “The careful evaluation of sources of energy storage for our power-dense operations led our team to determine that Natron’s sodium ion batteries are a safe, cost-effective solution that is already being utilized in industrial applications.”
The two companies will also collaborate on projects to deploy sodium ion batteries in energy storage systems to provide backup power for Liberty’s electric pumping systems used by companies working in the oil and natural gas exploration and production sectors.
Natron plans to use the funds to speed up production of its Prussian blue sodium ion electrodes chemistry, towards launching what it described as mass production of sodium ion batteries. September 9, 2022: Liberty Energy said on September 6 it had made an undisclosed investment in sodium ion battery tech developer Natron Energy.
