Salient Energy

Salient Energy is a Dartmouth, Nova Scotia based clean-energy hardware company developing zinc-ion batteries as a safer, lower-cost alternative to lithium-ion for renewable energy storage and grid applications. Its cells use a non-toxic, water-based electrolyte that eliminates fire risk, and are built from low-cost zinc and manganese materials sourced in North America, with a roughly 50% lower production carbon footprint than lithium-ion. The company positions its technology as a scalable answer to lithium supply constraints for stationary energy storage. Salient Energy manufactures physical battery hardware and does not publish a public developer API, SDK, or developer portal.

Salient Energy is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Energy, Energy Storage, Battery, and Zinc-Ion Battery.
