Zinc8 Energy Solutions (CSE:ZAIR) said it has expanded its total patent portfolio for its energy storage technology to 16 international patents covering markets in North America, Asia, and Europe, with five additional patents under review.
In a corporate update, the company said these patents protect Zinc8’s interest by allowing it to control the commercial use and success of its technology.
Zinc8 also noted its progress in building a strong internal core competency for its Zinc-air technology focusing on particle generation, dissolution and fluidization.
The company has put together a team of technical experts from across the electrical, mechanical, electrical, and modelling fields, it said.
“With our team's persistent and dedicated effort in developing the Zinc Regeneration Subsystem, Fuel Management Subsystem, and Power Generator Subsystem, we have internally demonstrated the potential of these various subsystems,” said Zinc8 vice president of tech development Tristan Sloan.
“Our next major step is to leverage these developments and assemble the batteries to fulfill prospective clients and partners’ requirements in future projects."
Additionally, the company noted that it is refocusing its internal roles and responsibilities to better align with the scaleup of the organization to meet prospective clients’ requirements.
"To see support from various US government levels, our company's shift towards scaling up of our technology needs internal alignment so we can integrate more renewable energy into the energy mix for our clients," Zinc8 CEO Ron MacDonald commented in a statement.
Zinc8 is focused on developing and commercializing its low-cost, long-duration Zinc8 Energy Storage System (ZESS) for utilities, microgrids, and commercial and industrial markets.
