Zinc8 Energy Solutions Inc. Hiring for Electrical Engineering Co-op at Richmond, BC Full Time

Zinc8 Energy Solutions is developing a range of energy storage products based on a novel zinc-air flow battery technology. An expanding market for these products exists in utility, commercial, industrial, microgrid and similar applications. Unlike lithium-ion technology, which requires new stacks to scale, Zinc8 has completely decoupled the linkage between energy and power. This means that scaling Zinc8’s technology can be accomplished by simply increasing the size of the fuel tank and quantity of recharged zinc fuel.
