“This flagship manufacturing facility will dramatically accelerate our efforts to deliver sodium-ion batteries to customers hungry for safe, reliable and environmentally responsible energy storage solutions,” said Colin Wessells, founder and co-CEO of Natron Energy. “After evaluating more than 70 sites in 9 states, we determined that North Carolina, with its leadership in the clean energy revolution, would be the perfect home for this project.
