Co-Founder of Halide Energy. We develop and build copper-based flow batteries for long duration energy storage.
My organisation
Our copper flow battery (CFB) is most suited towards adopters that have a need of cost-effective, fast-response and long-duration (8+ hours) energy storage. Being application agnostic with a configuration of 600kWh in each containerised system, the CFB is ideally used in industrial and grid-scale operations. Such customers often demand low-cost batteries with high cycling life due to the overproduction of intermittent electricity from wind and solar generation. The mismatch in electrical demand and supply creates cost-concerns for energy producers that face curtailment fees, and many grid service operators are now adopting battery systems to participate in grid flexibility markets.
About me
I am leading the development & commercialisation of copper flow batteries at Halide Energy (formerly known as CuRen) to solve the multibillion-euro challenge of energy flexibility and long-duration storage.
Working across Finland and Singapore, my past experiences in developing SMEs and startups overlap with an ambition of shaping a better future through businesses, civil society, and the public sector.
Expertise include international business development, infrastructure consulting and startup development. Graduated from Aalto University School of Business with a focus on sustainability management and deep-tech entrepreneurship education.
