Ambri

Ambri Incorporated, founded in 2010 at MIT, is a U.S.-based private company specializing in advanced long-duration energy storage solutions. Headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts, Ambri commercializes its proprietary Liquid Metal™ battery technology, designed for grid-scale applications to store and shift renewable energy for 4 to 24 hours. Their batteries use calcium-antimony chemistry with molten salt electrolytes, avoiding critical minerals like lithium and cobalt. This technology offers advantages such as lower costs over a 20-year lifespan, high safety due to non-flammable materials, minimal degradation, tolerance to extreme climates, full recyclability, and scalability from MWh to GWh. Ambri targets utility-scale customers for integrating renewables and reducing reliance on fossil fuels, with notable partnerships including Microsoft and Xcel Energy. The company has received investments from entities like Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Reliance Industries. Despite technological promise and contracts, Ambri filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2024 but continues operations while seeking new ownership.
