Sumitomo Electric plans to build a long-life battery plant in North America.

Japan's Sumitomo Electric industries plans to build a new battery plant in North America as the U.S accelerates its shift to sustainable energy.
Sumitomo wants to produce large capacity batteries called "redox flow cells" which are used to store electricity generated by wind turbines and other forms of renewable energy. The batteries are less prone to degradation than conventional lithium-ion batteries. Redox flow cells can last 30 years, or twice as long as lithium-ion ones.
In recent years, as the introduction of renewable energy accelerates toward the realization of a decarbonized society, the need for storage batteries is growing for the purpose of stabilizing power systems and effectively utilizing renewable energies. There is a particularly strong need for safe and long-life storage batteries, and Sumitomo Electric has been developing and selling redox flow battery systems to meet the need.
