Welcome to Factory of the Future, E74, Grid-Scale Battery Storage: Inside Inlyte Energy's Iron-Sodium Tech
Join us as we discuss:

- How Inlyte's iron-sodium battery uses a ceramic membrane and abundant materials like iron powder and table salt to deliver safer, cheaper grid storage than lithium-ion
- The manufacturing differences between iron-sodium and lithium-ion batteries — and why Inlyte is building a U.S.-based, non-Chinese supply chain with New Mexico as a leading site
- Real-world applications replacing diesel generators for backup power at hospitals and data centers, with major wins on cost and footprint
And so much more.
