Both ESS and Form Energy (Jeff Bezos) have gotten investment monies lately from Breakthrough Energy Ventures (key investor Bill Gates), for two very different battery technologies. Form Energy is the new kid on the block with their reverse oxidation principle, basically rusting and unrusting iron – we might soon see batteries systems able to retain charges up to 100 hours (vs. a couple hours for lithium ion).
