The agreement is aimed at meeting the growing demand for long-duration energy storage (LDES) globally, thanks to the rapid increase in renewable power generation. Per LDES Council and McKinsey & Co., the global energy storage market is estimated to grow significantly from its current $50 billion per year, with a cumulative investment of up to $3 trillion by 2040.

The agreement will streamline the transition to clean energy through the usage of safe and IFB technology that allows for energy storage by leveraging iron, salt, water and other materials available abundantly, instead of relying on those available in limited quantities such as lithium, cobalt or vanadium.
