CMBlu's solid-flow energy storage is modular in terms of both capacity and output and is scalable into the gigawatt range. By ensuring grid-serving load shifting and smoothing of consumption peaks during operation, the storage units enable more efficient and gentle utilisation of the grids.
Integrating into existing infrastructure
For operators, this means a possible financial saving, as the grid fees to the upstream grid operator are reduced. The operator's own green electricity from the roof of the filling station can then also be fed into the electricity buffer.

In the future, the large-scale storage systems can be integrated into e-charging stations within existing infrastructures such as classic petrol stations, industrial sites, multi-storey car parks or residential areas.
Advantages of flow and solid-state batteries
In contrast to conventional batteries based on sometimes expensive, rare or conflicting metals, CMBlu storage technology is based on organic electrolytes and solids. They thus combine the advantages of flow and solid-state batteries without accepting their disadvantages.

The energy storage devices are therefore not flammable or explosive and pose an extremely low environmental risk even in the event of a malfunction. "We will be mass-producing these innovative energy storage devices in the next few years," promises Peter Geigle, company founder and head of CMBlu. Demand would certainly be there. (nhp/mfo)
