  • Sustainability: Made with non-toxic materials like cellulose, zinc, and manganese, the batteries are fully compostable, reducing electronic waste and environmental impact.
  • Safety: Explosion-proof and leak-resistant, they ensure near-zero fire hazards.
  • Flexibility: Durable and functional under extreme conditions, enabling innovative applications.
  • Cost-Efficiency: Affordable materials and scalable production processes eliminate the “green premium,” offering sustainable products at competitive prices.

With the global energy storage market projected to reach $500 billion by 2030, Flint is poised to disrupt sectors like defense, EVs, consumer electronics, and energy systems. The company’s proprietary technologies enable cost-effective, scalable solutions, addressing both performance and sustainability.

The company’s funding round, closed in October, highlights global investor confidence. Funds will drive pilot production, intellectual property security, and team expansion. Flint will debut its innovations at CES 2025, leveraging the platform for strategic growth. “We aim to redefine energy storage, addressing the climate crisis with safer, greener solutions,” said Charles.
