Maritime

SOLiTHOR will initially target the Yacht, Inland Water Vessel and Submersible Vessel & Drone markets. Short-to-mid-range and volume and weight restricted, their operating profiles best match our technology’s USP.

We will leverage the same technological advantages for the maritime sector as those developed for the aviation market with similar power and safety requirements.

Maritime transport accounts for 2.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To further reduce these, improved battery technology is essential.

SOLiTHOR’s rechargeable solid-state lithium battery technology is a much-needed improvement to maritime applications.

Safety improvements are vital for a wider adoption of electric boats. Traditional Li-ion batteries are prone to thermal runaway that can lead to fires and explosions, resulting in severe consequences on the vessel. The inherent limitations of Li-ion batteries challenge further electrification of the maritime market. Capacity, size, weight and cost are hampering a more rapid uptake of electric engines.

Battery systems developed today will be critical in creating scale for future, larger propulsion systems

SOLiTHOR’s Solutions to Maritime Requirements

Inherent safety of the nano-SCE solid electrolyte eliminates the risk of fire and explosions
No risk of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) - critical when onboard with limited space e.g., submarines, near cabins
Higher energy density for longer range and a more compact footprint
Faster charging times – resulting in shorter downtime and turnaround
Thermally stable solid electrolyte - less prone to degradation – withstanding more (dis)charge cycles - resulting in a longer overall lifespan with reduced maintenance and replacement costs over time
