About this organization

Organization Information : Founded in 2014, CMBlu Energy based in Alzenau, Germany, with U.S. operations in Petaluma, California, develops long‑duration energy storage systems using its patented Organic SolidFlow™ technology. Its batteries employ carbon‑based solid electrolyte materials and water‑based electrolytes, offering high energy density, non‑flammability, and recyclability. In 2023, the company secured a strategic €100 million (~$106.7 million) investment from STRABAG SE to scale manufacturing in Europe and the U.S. Ongoing pilot projects include a 1–2 MWh demonstration with WEC Energy in Wisconsin and a 5 MW, 10‑hour Desert Blume system under development with Salt River Project. With around 250 employees across Germany, Greece, and the U.S., CMBlu aims for global commercialization of safe, sustainable long‑duration storage.

Other Information: Founded in 2014, At CMBlu Energy our approach is simple. We look to nature to make technology better. By imitating carbon-based molecules from the citric acid cycle in our bodies, we developed high-performance energy storage molecules that are entirely organic. The result is simply revolutionary: a green battery that enables large-scale, affordable, and customizable energy storage. CMBlu Energy started as a research-driven project in 2011. Since then, we have continued to expand our broad IP portfolio and energy storage expertise. Today, we are the world's leading company in the field of organic solid-flow batteries and a major German battery manufacturer based in Alzenau, Germany. Together with our partners, customers and employees, we are advancing the key technology for the energy transition..
