The S4 Project
We've put together a helpful video to explain what the S4 Project is all about, what we'll achieve, why it's so critical to explore alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, and what the outcomes of this project means to Sydney Water and potentially many more end users.
Why Sodium?
Sodium-based batteries have a number of advantages over current energy storage technologies. We've put together a quick explainer on why we believe sodium-ion batteries will play a significant role in any future energy storage mix.
