Bringing together Sharp\u2019s expertise in electrochemical systems and ESI\u2019s track record in deploying long-duration energy storage infrastructure, the collaboration will begin with a technical proof-of-concept in partnership with The University of Queensland. This phase will be supported by targeted research funding and a dedicated research position, according to a media release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy combining Japanese innovation with Queensland\u2019s research and deployment strengths, we are laying the groundwork for scalable, sustainable energy solutions that can serve markets across the Indo-Pacific and beyond \u2014 while creating jobs and investment opportunities for our state,\u201d said Tak Adachi, Queensland\u2019s Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner for North Asia.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to collaborate with ESI, made possible by the support of the State of Queensland,\u201d said Norio Ito, Senior Vice President and Head of Corporate R&D for Sharp. \u201cThis partnership will enable us to integrate the technologies of both companies, accelerating R&D in zinc-air flow batteries and contributing to the realisation of a carbon neutral society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will explore the viability of zinc-air flow batteries as a safe, sustainable alternative to lithium-based systems, offering longer storage durations, lower costs, and enhanced compatibility with renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilding from 100 years of Sharp\u2019s product innovation, this MoU signals not only collaboration between Sharp and ESI but between Japan and Queensland,\u201d said Justin Begg, CEO, Energy Transition Technologies, an ESI subsidiary that will lead the development program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the initial proof-of-concept phase, Sharp and ESI intend to pursue additional research grants and advance toward commercialisation, the media release said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
