Market Opportunity
International Energy Agency (IEA) forecast $37 trillion will be invested in energy between 2012 and 2035, with $10 trillion
in power generation alone.
Citigroup cited $230 kW as the key mark where battery storage wins out over conventional generation and puts the fossil
fuel incumbents into terminal decline.
UBS, in a report based around a discussion with Navigant Research, says the $230 kW mark will be reached by the broader
market within two to three years, and will likely fall to $100 kW.

Method Uses reactants, hydrogen
and oxygen, and will produce
electricity, as long as it has an
external fuel supply

Energy Banks use recyclable, replaceable cartridges, that can be sold
at gas stations, consumer retail outlets, or supplied directly.

Applications
Energy Banks are one of several technologies SURIA
could develop via the Energy Generation & Storage
Systems Consortium.
Mobile Stationary
1-200 Kilowatt • Power for drones, power tools, scooters,
hand trucks.
• Residential backup or complimentary power source for the grid
and renewables
• Remote power for military, rural and urban development,
construction, and special events
200-800 Kilowatt • Power for cars, trucks, vans, buses,
forklifts, small planes
• Telecommunication cell towers, commercial complimentary
power source for grid or renewables
1-8 Megawatts - • Backup or complimentary power source for hospitals, schools,
data centers, telecommunication / phone exchanges, larger
municipal buildings, emergency services, small factories
• Primary power for regions with unreliable service
10-80 Megawatts • Private generating plants - Government facilities, military
installations, small remote communities, telephone and data
switching stations, broadcasters, large hospitals, large data
centers
• Small public power plant - Remote communities, such as islands,
military bases, “distributed power generation” for times of power
shortages, large factories and office complexes
100% self-contained power source -
no reliance on energy infrastructure

Urgency for Inexpensive Power Generation
and Storage
Grid Instability
Today’s electricity grid is increasingly vulnerable
to threats from nature, terrorists, and accidents.
Millions of families and businesses are effected by
outages (both sustained and monetary) each year.
Energy Poverty
1.2 billion people still live without access to electricity, while 2.8
billion people rely on wood, crop waste, dung, and other biomass
to cook and heat their homes. India alone has 306.2 million
people without electricity, and 705 million people who rely on
wood and biomass for cooking.
