The Challenge: Adapting to the Future Grid• Energy demand growing — projected to grow globally by 36% from 2010 to 2035, including energy
efficiency increases 1
• Aging generating capacity needs to be replaced — by 2025, most coal-fired plants and by 2030, most nuclear plants, will need to be rebuilt or retired 2
• Need for new transmission and distribution — $180B of planned US transmission projects 3
• Infrastructure driven by peak demand — 25% of distribution and 10% of generation and transmission assets (worth multi hundreds B$) used less than 400 hours per year 4
• Growing renewable generation that is intermittent leads to grid instability and—in some cases—curtailment or negative pricing 5

What is a Zinc-Air Battery?
Zinc or Metal Air provides highest potential energy density for batteries
• Widely used today for high-energy density, low-cost, single use applications• e.g. hearing aids
• Based on similar chemistry used in standard alkaline AA and AAA batteries (Zn/MnO2)
• Replaces manganese dioxide (MnO2 ) with thin air electrode, saving space and cost • Air electrode contains carbon and catalysts, which absorb and catalyze oxygen to allow it
to react with zinc, eliminating need to contain cathode reactant in battery so most of battery can be filled by zinc anode, saving space
Energizer, Zinc Air Prismatic Handbook 25
Zinc-Air Advantages
• High energy density• Materials are safe, low cost, locally
sourced, readily available Zinc: • Cheap: One of the world’s most
plentiful and inexpensive metals • Non toxic• Locally available - three of top five
zinc producers: US, Canada and Australia
Air • Inexpensive to manufacture• Environmentally friendly
Other batteries need to hold a large amount of cathode reactant, equivalent to pulling a trailer full of gasoline oxidizer (air) behind your car. Zinc-air batteries have higher energy density since they—like gasoline engines—use ambient air as a reactant, and therefore don’t need to carry it in the cell, increasing energy density
