About Us :
Noon Energy’s vision is a fully-renewable future with energy storage inspired by nature. We’re on a mission to allow the world to run on renewables with low-cost compact long-duration energy storage.
Our compact stationary battery uses the same chemistry that plants use in photosynthesis, eliminating the need for mining precious metals for energy storage.
Noon Energy batteries deliver 200+ hours of storage capacity, enabling 5-6 ¢ / kWh on-demand renewable electricity when paired with wind and solar.
The Noon Energy technology is robust, safe, and the core electrochemical component of the technology is currently operating on Mars.
Initially, we are developing products for the $1T stationary energy storage market with future applications in long-haul shipping and trucking.
Our battery stores energy by splitting CO2, similar to how nature stores energy by photosynthesis. Storage in air-abundant molecules, rather than rare metals, is key to our fundamental advantages in cost, sustainability, and energy density. - Chris Graves, CEO.
We are building a company rooted in our desire for everyone to have access to abundant low-cost energy. Our core values are woven into everything we do, from what we ask in interviews, how we run our meetings, and how we make the highest-level company decisions.
We believe that alignment with our core ideology is essential for building a lasting company with massive positive impact on the world.
