Altris

Altris is a Sweden-based startup that specializes in the development of sodium-ion batteries, a sustainable and safer alternative to traditional batteries. The company aims to become the leading sodium-ion battery developer in Europe, leveraging the abundant and readily available raw materials used in the production of these batteries. Altris operates in the energy storage market, providing innovative solutions for mass-market battery production.

The company's business model revolves around offering sodium-ion cathodes, electrolytes, cell designs, and factory blueprints for large-scale battery production. They also provide commercial battery cells for specific niche applications. Altris' batteries boast a high energy density comparable to Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) technology, excellent safety performance, long cycle and calendar life, and adaptability to various working temperatures and power performances.

A key differentiator for Altris is its patented cathode manufacturing process, which ensures a continuous output of high-quality material while minimizing energy usage. The company's batteries can be produced at scale in existing lithium-ion factories, reducing the need for expensive dry rooms and energy consumption.

Altris' batteries are made from globally available raw materials such as salt, wood, iron, and air, ensuring a minimal carbon footprint and a truly green battery. The company has received financial support from the Swedish Energy Agency and has been recognized with the EIT Innovation Team Awards.

In the future, Altris plans to expand its market to include commercial transport and light wheel markets, capitalizing on the many benefits of sodium-ion technology.
