Iron flow battery manufacturer ESS Inc. has been in the news lately, most recently for releasing an updated version of its product guarantee. Munich RE, one of the world''s largest reinsurance companies, also updated its insurance policy for ESS to address customer concerns over technology risk.
ESS Inc, the US-headquartered manufacturer of a flow battery using iron and saltwater electrolytes, has launched a new range of energy storage systems starting at 3MW power capacity and promising 6-16 hours discharge duration.
Using easy-to-source iron, salt, and water, ESS'' iron flow technology enables energy security, reliability and resilience. We build flexible storage solutions that allow our customers to meet increasing energy demand
Once fully operational and paired with renewable energy, 2 GWh of iron flow battery systems are expected to enable the elimination of approximately 284,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year from SMUD''s system. Finally, at the end of 2023, ESS successfully ''lifted'' its first Energy Center (EC), a key milestone in the manufacturing process.
ESS Inc. —a provider of long-duration energy storage (LDES) solutions—is catalyzing a cleaner energy future by levering the features of iron flow batteries. Morgan Pitts, Director of Corporate Communications at ESS Inc., spoke to Battery Technology about his company''s energy solutions:
Using easy-to-source iron, salt, and water, ESS'' iron flow technology enables energy security, reliability and resilience. We build flexible storage solutions that allow our customers to meet increasing energy demand without power disruptions and maximize the value potential of excess renewable energy.

ESS EW iron flow battery storage containers. Courtesy of ESS Iron flow batteries, also known as iron-air batteries or iron-redox flow batteries, are energy storage technology that stores electrical energy in chemical form.
The ESS iron flow battery uses the same electrolyte on both positive and negative sides. And the proton pump maintains the state of charge and battery health. Join Eric Dresselhuys, CEO and Vince Canino, COO of ESS Inc. as they take you on a tour of the ESS factory in Wilsonville, Oregon.
Made with earth-abundant elements like iron and salt, iron-flow batteries are a far more sustainable alternative to zinc, vanadium or lithium-ion technologies. ESS technology is field-tested and assessed by Munich Re, who underwrites our 10-year battery module performance warranties.
ESS batteries are easy to site and safe to operate. Iron flow chemistry doesn’t use critical minerals such as vanadium, lithium, or cobalt, reducing the environmental impacts associated with the supply chain and reducing their lifecycle greenhouse gas footprint.
Streamline the permitting process with our ETL certified system to UL 9540 standards, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free installation experience. Made with earth-abundant elements like iron and salt, iron-flow batteries are a far more sustainable alternative to zinc, vanadium or lithium-ion technologies.
Iron flow batteries pose no risk of thermal runaway and can maintain peak efficiency without AC or any other cooling systems required. As certified by ETL, our battery modules conform to Underwriters Laboratories’ (UL) 9540A, 1973, and 9540 standards, affirming their safety and environmental performance for outdoor and indoor installations.
We are deeply committed to excellence in all our endeavors.
Since we maintain control over our products, our customers can be assured of nothing but the best quality at all times.
