Zinc ion battery

Cost efficient, eco-friendly, robust batteries that power renewable energy/micro-grid, telecom towers & electric vehicles. Our first invention is a ‘ZincGel® battery’, that combines innovation in electrolyte, democratized material and electrode design, leading to breakthrough in dnergy density, power density and energy efficiency at a very cost-effective end user price. We have modified 150 year old zinc and Manganese-Dioxide chemistry to cater to the current energy storage opportunities. Our plan is to prove ZincGel battery’s strength in a few business cases by running small scale pilots. This data will establish our credibility and strength over other competition.

Integrated solar cooking/heating and battery

The AnnapurnaMPEP (Multi-Purpose Energy Pod) is a combined Sodium Nickle Chloride battery and Photo Voltaics solution with built in heat recovery. The unit can be used as an electricity back-up storage while the recovered waste heat from the Sodium batteries can be utilized for cooking purposes. The Energy Pod is built for low maintenance and has a predicted life length of at least 8 years. The innovation can be used for cooking and power back up in a typical rural home, replacing air polluting cooking stoves and fossil fuelled back-up generators.

Radiant cooling solution for the building sector

Most commercial buildings have a centralized Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system to meet the indoor cooling demand. The cooling distribution in these systems is a significant contributor to energy consumption in commercial buildings and uses air as a heat transfer medium. Oorja Energy’s “Radiant Cooling Solution” increases efficiencies in cooling distribution. The solution operates on chilled water supply between 16–20°C as compared to conventional centralized HVAC systems that require chilled water supply at 7°C. This leads to significant savings in power as the conventional compressor has to work more to produce chilled water at this low temperature.
