“All the batteries we make now can ONLY store 10 minutes of the world’s electricity needs, we need a breakthrough here, something that is going to be a factor of a HUNDRED better than what we have today“
Bill Gates
Since 2013, Storelectric has been developing utility scale energy storage technologies. Storelectric Ltd was the 2nd Company 350 PPM backed in 2017 and then again in 2019. Finally, you can find Storelectric’s Energy Storage with Hydrogen Patent here – granted in the UK and specific to Green Hydrogen, which was filled in 2015, years before anyone was even thinking about Hydrogen (hyperbole).
Having won The Shell Springboard and the NAM challenge (NAM is Holland’s largest Energy Company), both for Energy Storage Solutions with its improvements to the CAES system and the resulting patents, Storelectric has just been awarded an “Energy Storage with Hydrogen” Patent. This covers most methods of producing Green Hydrogen and utilising Green Hydrogen as an Energy Storage Medium in the UK. ROR patents are pending.
As a result of Storelectric’s existing business and the New Patent, Storelectric is now in talks with various SPACs in New York planning a 500M-1B raise. Dentons (the lawyers) are making the introductions and facilitating this and it’s interesting to note, after 5 years they are still working for Storelectric pro bono / FOC / for free.
Prior to this, Storelectric needs to:
- Build its reputation as thought Leaders (they filed the Hydrogen Patents in 2015 and Mark Howitt’s expertise has also been recognised with the following expert positions: • United Nations (UNECE) expert in energy transition technologies, economics, regulation and politics • Member of the UK advisory team to the IEA (International Energy Agency 27) • Member of the Energy Storage Steering Group of the Renewable Energy Association 28 • Solar Power Europe Task Force on Solar and Storage • Until Brexit, Mark was on three task forces within ETIP SNET, determining the innovation priorities of the European Union. And finally, Storelectric is a major consultee in numerous public consultations by the British government, European Union, Ofgem, National Grid and others); and its pipeline of projects in the UK and abroad, begin pre-construction development of said project and build its valuation.
- Build its Pipeline of projects in the UK and internationally in partnership with organisation it is working with now like Mitsuibishi Power, Geostock Entrepose, ERM, Arup, KBB with support from PWC, Siemens, Mott MacDonald, Balfour Beatty, Costain, GE Alstom, Newgate, HFL and BPE, complete pre-construction development on said projects for either CAES, CAES Hydrogen Hybrid, of Hydrogen Energy Storage Solutions, such that the project (s) reach ready to build status
- Grow its valuation to at least €500M, the level at which SPAC investment becomes a possibility.
