29 | Constantin Eis & Giovanni Damato — CEO & US President, CMBlu Energy

About this episode

The episode features a discussion on energy storage technologies with CMBlu Energy's CEO and US President at a clean energy event.

This discussion covers the “secret sauce” working mechanism of CMBlu’s flagship Organic SolidFlow technology, combining elements of both flow batteries and solid state energy storage, as well as its advantages in: safety (no fire) sustainability (recyclable earth-abundant conflict free materials) security (local, mature, vertically integrated supply chains) footprint (efficient built environment; stack vertically) flexibility / modularity (separate scaling of power and energy) serviceability (conventional parts for repairs and (de)commissioning) Hear about CMBlu’s market traction, including pilot projects with WEC Energy Group in Wisconsin, Salt River Project in Phoenix Arizona, and the DOE and National labs—not to…
