The Iron Redox Flow Battery (IRFB), also known as Iron Salt Battery (ISB), stores and releases energy through the electrochemical reaction of iron salt. This type of battery belongs to the class of (RFB), which are alternative solutions to (LIB) for stationary applications. The IRFB can achieve up to 70% round trip . In comparison, other long duration storage technologies such as pumped hydro energy storage pr. [pdf]
ESS batteries are the foundation for a decarbonized grid. Iron flow technology allows for unlimited cycling with zero capacity degradation over a 25-year design life. That enables stacked revenue streams. Long-duration energy storage (LDES) is the linchpin of the energy transition, and ESS batteries are purpose-built to enable decarbonization.
That enables stacked revenue streams. Long-duration energy storage (LDES) is the linchpin of the energy transition, and ESS batteries are purpose-built to enable decarbonization. As the first commercial manufacturer of iron flow battery technology, ESS is delivering safe, sustainable, and flexible LDES around the world.
Ours are the greenest, lowest lifecycle cost energy storage systems you can buy. ESS batteries are comprised of earth-abundant iron, salt and water, not hazardous chemicals or costly rare-earth metals, making them environmentally benign to produce and the easiest-to-permit storage technology in the world.
The ESS iron flow battery uses the same electrolyte on both positive and negative sides. And the proton pump maintains the state of charge and battery health. Join Eric Dresselhuys, CEO and Vince Canino, COO of ESS Inc. as they take you on a tour of the ESS factory in Wilsonville, Oregon.
Substantially recyclable or reusable at end-of-life. ESS iron flow batteries reduce the need for fire suppression equipment, secondary containment, or hazmat precautions. ESS systems are substantially recyclable at end-of-life.
In further contrast to lithium-ion, ESS’s safe and sustainable iron flow technology is capable of unlimited cycling without capacity fade over a 25-year design life, delivering significant cost savings and revenue opportunities over the system's lifetime.

Small-scale lithium-ion residential battery systems in the German market suggest that between 2014 and 2020, battery energy storage systems (BESS) prices fell by 71%, to USD 776/kWh.. Small-scale lithium-ion residential battery systems in the German market suggest that between 2014 and 2020, battery energy storage systems (BESS) prices fell by 71%, to USD 776/kWh.. The average price of electricity in Germany, in June of 2024, has been 0.3951€ per kilowatt hour. Electricity price has decreased € 0.0069 kWh, 1.72% since the previous semester.. The Cost of BESS System for Solar Power typically ranges from €500 to €1,500 per kWh of storage. [pdf]
In early 2024, the price of residential BESS offered to end consumers in Europe ranged widely, from €400 to more than €1,200 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) (Exhibit 2). Historically, European OEMs built trust-based brands by highlighting their “made in Europe” status and rode the first-mover wave over the past ten years.
Small-scale lithium-ion residential battery systems in the German market suggest that between 2014 and 2020, battery energy storage systems (BESS) prices fell by 71%, to USD 776/kWh.
These international players are placing cost pressure on European BESS OEMs by driving down prices. In early 2024, the price of residential BESS offered to end consumers in Europe ranged widely, from €400 to more than €1,200 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) (Exhibit 2).
The $/kWh costs we report can be converted to $/kW costs simply by multiplying by the duration (e.g., a $300/kWh, 4-hour battery would have a power capacity cost of $1200/kW). To develop cost projections, storage costs were normalized to their 2022 value such that each projection started with a value of 1 in 2022.
Furthermore, rising interest rates and the general decline of the European economy mean consumers are more conservative when it comes to making investments in energy alternatives, such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and BESS, which can easily cost up to €30,000.
After years of exponential growth, demand for BESS in Europe has temporarily flattened, with McKinsey research showing approximately 150 percent growth in the first half of 2023, which slowed to 10 percent in the second half of 2023 for Germany.
