Title:
Canadian-Made Long Duration Storage Enabling Energy Independence and Decarbonization for the Canadian Defense Sector/Remote Camps
Agreement Number:
1041108
Agreement Value:
$75,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 27, 2026 - Mar 24, 2027
Description:
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 environmental impact.
