Founded in 2023 in Donostia-San Sebastián, Bihar Batteries is a Spanish startup developing sodium-ion batteries for commercial and industrial applications. The company’s technology relies on abundant, locally available raw materials in Europe, which offers significant benefits in terms of supply chain security. Bihar’s sodium-ion batteries are also safer, operate over a wide temperature range (-20 C to 60 C), support faster charging and discharging, and enable 100% depth of discharge.
Bihar has already developed its first prototype. “We have successfully tested it internally and we will validate it with partner companies at the end of this year,” a company spokesperson said. pv magazine.
The start-up is developing its own sodium ion cell technology in collaboration with CIC energiGUNE, an internationally renowned research center in the field of energy storage with more than 13 years of experience in sodium ion research. “Together we have successfully developed our first sodium ion cell prototypes, with promising results,” the company added.
