ABOUT US

About-us

At e-Zinc, we are a team of innovators bridging the gap between a zero-carbon future and the realities of energy demands today. But first off, we are people – passionate, driven, and committed to creating a bright future together.

e-Zinc was born in response to the accelerating climate crisis by Dr. Gregory X. Zhang, a visionary and seasoned technology developer.

Dr. Zhang recognized the imperative of an energy transition to renewable sources as a key pillar to effectively address our looming climate issues, and saw energy storage as the link to wide adoption. He seized the opportunity to make meaningful impact by applying his skills and knowledge to the problem, and went on to explore the possibilities for the best energy storage solution. His research considered key factors – energy density, stability, reversibility, kinetics, cost, and accessibility.

The winning material was Zinc. It performs well under all of the key constraints, is inexpensive, and is ubiquitous and easily recyclable as well. Armed with purpose and insights, Dr. Zhang went on to build a team and develop a breakthrough zinc-based long-duration energy storage solution to accelerate the energy transition.

Curious to learn more about how our game-changing technology works to build resilience in the face of increasing climate impacts?

Our technology is developed in Canada with support and demand from across North America and beyond. Our team and impact are growing with our new pilot-scale manufacturing facility in Ontario, Canada, new regional offices in the US, and pilot projects planned for California, Ontario and other markets.

Addressing the complex challenges and wide ranging impacts of climate change is at the core of every decision we make. We understand energy storage is key to unlocking widespread adoption of clean energy. Our solution drives positive impact in a dynamic, growing sector.
