About the Event

As renewable energy becomes the dominant source of electricity, long-duration energy storage (LDES) is essential to ensure grid reliability and resilience. While lithium-ion batteries have been central to short-duration storage, they fall short for applications that require delivering energy continuously over multiple days.

This event will focus on emerging non-lithium technologies capable of addressing this critical gap, particularly Form Energy’s iron-air battery technology, designed to provide multi-day energy storage. We will discuss key applications, deployment challenges, and the latest innovations driving commercialization, with insights into performance improvements, supply chain considerations, and real-world pilot projects. Attendees will gain insights into how these innovations are reshaping the future of grid operations, reliability planning, and decarbonization.

About the Innovator

Form Energy is commercializing an iron-air battery that stores energy for 100+ hours to be competitive with legacy power plants. The company’s core technology leverages the reversible oxidation of iron, a low-cost, abundant, and non-toxic material- to deliver competitive long-duration energy storage.

Form’s batteries are designed to operate safely and efficiently across a wide range of environments, offering utilities a powerful tool to replace thermal generation, improve grid resilience, and enable deep renewable penetration. With its first commercial project already underway in Minnesota, Form is scaling to deploy its multi-day storage solutions across the grid.

About the Audience

This event is geared toward stakeholders leading the charge in grid decarbonization, including:

• Utility-scale energy project developers and engineers
• Vertically integrated and deregulated utilities
• ISO/RTO and transmission system planners
• Microgrid and resiliency strategy teams
• Policymakers and regulators focused on reliability and storage

The session will be especially relevant for those seeking cost-effective, scalable, and non-lithium alternatives to support multi-day grid balancing, firm renewable integration, and the transition away from fossil baseload.
