Commercialization of Lowest-Cost, Long Duration Energy Storage Systems – Phase III$6.1Mvalue2025start2027end

e-Zinc is a zinc-air battery company based in Toronto. The company’s energy storage system can be up to 80 percent less expensive than comparable lithium-ion systems for long-duration applications. Importantly, its energy storage system can operate in cold and hot climates and is made of abundant and recyclable materials.The project will be hosted at Eurus Energy America Corporation’s (EEAC) Bull Creek wind facility in Borden County, Texas (Bull Creek). The pilot program will store excess wind generation capacity in the e-Zinc battery system at Bull Creek. EEAC can then use the stored energy t

FIRST DEMONSTRATION OF ZINC-AIR BESS IN OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND TARGET MARKET$5.0Mvalue2026start2027end

This project is mostly related to technology demonstration.

Canadian-Made Long Duration Storage Enabling Energy Independence and Decarbonization for the Canadian Defense Sector/Remote Camps$75.0Kvalue2026start2027end

Remote Canadian defense camps depend on diesel generators that are costly, difficult to supply, and carbon intensive. e-Zinc is developing a breakthrough zinc-based energy storage technology that can provide reliable, multi-day power using abundant, sustainable materials. This project will evaluate how e-Zinc’s long-duration storage can be integrated with renewable generation to create resilient, low-emission microgrids for defense operations in remote environments. The work will define a clear pathway for deploying this innovative solution to strengthen energy security while reducing environm

Youth project: Battery Cell Testing Engineer$30.0Kvalue2025start2026end

E-Zinc's Test team is accountable for the testing and validation of our unique long duration energy storage technology which will contribute to decarbonizing the planet and support the transition to a more sustainable, clean future. This project focuses on preparation for critical in-field demonstration projects scheduled for delivery in 2026. The Battery Test Engineer will conduct standard testing on zinc-air battery cells, including charge-discharge cycles, while collecting relevant data. They will collect, analyze, and report test data while ensuring accuracy and reliability. They will lead
