Hindustan Zinc and AEsir Technologies join hands for developing Zinc batteries

Vedanta subsidiary, Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL), India's largest and the world's second-largest zinc producer, has signed an MoU (memorandum of understanding) with AEsir Technologies, Inc., a USbased company specializing in next-generation zinc battery technologies, bolstering ongoing green transition.

 Under this MoU, Hindustan Zinc will be the preferred supplier of zinc, a key raw material for AEsir Technologies' next-generation batteries. Zinc-based batteries provide a compelling alternative to other modern energy storage solutions, delivering higher power at lower costs with minimal maintenance and longer lifespans of up to 20 years. This makes them ideal for large-scale energy storage in industrial settings.
