Quino Energy Secures $10M to Accelerate Next-Gen Aqueous Flow Battery Scaling for Resilient Grids

Quino Energy is thrilled to announce that we have successfully raised $10,000,000 in our latest funding round—an achievement that marks a pivotal milestone in our journey to redefine energy storage solutions. Our innovative approach utilizes an aqueous flow battery technology that leverages specially designed quinones, derived from low-cost coal tar and wood tar, making our systems significantly more cost-effective for longer-duration storage ranging from five to 12 hours. This advanced technology, licensed from Harvard University where the groundbreaking work was first developed, is set to accelerate the deployment of secure, resilient, and scalable energy storage across varied applications. With the infusion of this capital, we are primed to not only scale up our manufacturing and research capabilities but also to broaden our market reach, targeting grid resiliency applications such as microgrids, transmission and distribution deferrals, and renewables storage. Our unique storage solutions are designed to cater to a spectrum of needs—from powering homes to supporting large-scale solar farms—ensuring that communities and businesses have reliable energy even in areas where the risks of conventional lithium-ion batteries, such as fire or wildfire hazards, are a major concern. The significance of our technology is further underscored by its exceptional ultralow capacity degradation, safe operation without hydrogen gas generation, and elimination of frequent rebalancing requirements. This recent funding will be instrumental in accelerating our product development and deployment strategies, ensuring that our state-of-the-art batteries can be sited effectively anywhere. We believe that with this strategic investment, Quino Energy is well-positioned to lead the charge in the next generation of clean, efficient, and resilient power storage solutions.
