Gelion’s long-term vision is to become Australia’s leading global energy storage company. We plan to achieve this through our end-to-end innovation in next-generation lithium-sulfur, silicon-sulfur and zinc battery technologies, BESS integration solutions and novel battery recycling technology. Gelion is developing its core technologies – sulfur-batteries, zinc-batteries, and recycling process technology in-house and plans to leverage partners to reach commercial scale. Gelion is also leveraging state-of-the-art battery technology from 3rd party providers to service specific stationary storage market segments in Australia. These systems will integrate externally produced cells into battery energy storage systems (BESS), using Gelion’s integration solutions team’s expertise, battery management systems and management software.

Gelion is committed to helping to achieve the global transition to renewables.

To do this, we are developing next-generation batteries and will partner with leading companies to reach commercial scale to ensure maximum impact. Gelion will partner to reach technology development objectives (evidenced through the Ionblox JDA for silicon-sulfur battery development), as well as for strategic upstream supply chain, prospective trial and offtake opportunities (evidenced through the Glencore JDA).

Gelion will continue to grow our key partners throughout the supply chain, manufacturing and customers as we bring our battery technologies to market. Click here to view our current partnerships and here if you’re interested in partnering with us.

Gelion is innovating battery technologies for both mobile and stationary applications, targeting a range of sectors and applications, including drones/UAVs, commercial e-aviation, electric passenger vehicles (EVs) and electric heavy vehicles.

Regarding stationary storage, Gelion’s technology is applicable to sectors such as agriculture, mining, defense, commercial & industrial and telecommunications. For more information, read our Technology page.

Currently, Gelion’s efforts are directed at the potential for the Li-S chemistry to deliver double the gravimetric energy density of standard lithium-ion chemistries, whilst concurrently reducing cost and increasing safety. Gelion is targeting the EV and e-aviation market, to help make global transport, energy consumption and storage more sustainable. Gelion is developing a product for its high energy density sulfur cathode at its expanded R&D facilities in Sydney, enabling it to integrate with a variety of anodes ranging from graphite to silicon to lithium metal, depending on the targeted application. Gelion recently also expanded in the UK by acquiring OXLiD Ltd, significantly increasing its capability in cathode improvement thereby accelerating path to commercial partners and commercialisation.

In December 2024, Gelion was awarded a c.£2.5m (A$4.8m) grant by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) as matched funding to implement its Advanced Commercial Prototyping Centre (ACPC) Project in Sydney. The ACPC Project will enable the Group to produce and optimise its next generation GEN 3 Lithium Sulfur (Li-S) and Silicon Sulfur (Si-S) battery technologies and provide these for test and validation by prospective global partners and customers. The Project will commence upon Gelion securing its appropriate co-funding. Find out more about this project.

Gelion is also adapting its zinc technology.to comprise an alternate cathode technology – a zinc hybrid cell – to develop complementary next-generation batteries for the lead-acid ecosystem. Early testing indicates that this solution can maintain good energy density levels with enhanced cost and safety aspects. Once fully developed, Gelion intends for its zinc technology to provide a durable and sustainable market extension within the ecosystem that supports lead-acid batteries.

Further information will become available around the time of commercial release.

We expect Gelion batteries to be available to international markets.

Gelion has strict validation of development and quality control procedures in place to identify shortcomings and ensure any performance issues are dealt with appropriately. This validation process enabled us to identify cost vs safety issues with bromine prior to scale-up, informing our decision to pivot to zinc hybrid cells.

The Company’s match to market analysis to define the operational parameters of Gelion’s zinc bromide (‘ZnBr2’) battery highlighted the need to balance three key priorities – safety, energy density and cost and consistent with this, a 12-month ZnBr2 research programme (“R&D Programme”) was launched in 2023. The R&D Programme identified potential safety concerns on the cathode side, arising from efficacy of the approach of sequestering bromine in the battery. Gelion determined that the Company’s ability to improve the safety of the existing battery will come at a cost of reduced energy density that will be below an industry-tolerable standard and resolving these will require a further lengthy research and capital expenditure plan. Accordingly, Gelion pivoted its technological solution to comprise a zinc cell with an alternate cathode technology that does not utilise bromine. Read the full announcement here.

Gelion is currently adapting its zinc technology to comprise an alternate cathode technology – a zinc hybrid cell that does not utilise bromine – to develop complementary next-generation batteries for the lead-acid ecosystem. Early testing indicates that this solution can maintain good energy density levels with enhanced cost and safety aspects. Once fully developed, Gelion intends for its zinc technology to provide a durable and sustainable market extension within the ecosystem that supports lead-acid batteries.

Gelion aims to provide a future for lead-acid battery manufacturing through its zinc-based battery technology. Gelion is currently working on the implementation of a completely benign chemistry, using abundant materials, developing batteries that are recyclable with safe processes and implementing a battery for energy storage that does not require air conditioning.

Like lithium-ion batteries, Gelion’s Zinc-based battery technology is based on the shuffle of Zn2+ ions back and forth between the cathode and the anode. With a high volumetric energy density, high stability and processability, Gelion’s Zinc technology offers a new pathway towards large scale battery system applications.
