Offgrid Energy Labs

Current battery technologies are either toxic or rare earth minerals. As the demand for renewable energy and electric vehicle increases, the world will need more batteries. Therefore the next generation of batteries have to be not only efficient but also use sustainable materials that are abundantly available.

Offgrid Energy Labs is transforming energy storage with ZincGel, a battery technology that tackles key industry challenges. By using non-toxic, widely available materials, ZincGel overcomes raw material scarcity and safety concerns associated with traditional batteries. Its simple design enables straightforward manufacturing, cutting capital expenditure by 80% compared to lithium-ion alternatives. These innovations create a strong commercial and sustainability advantage, particularly for electric three-wheelers, offering affordable, safe, and scalable energy storage solutions.

OffGrid Energy Labs supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals by advancing SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy and SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Through its ZincGel technology, the company provides safe, low-cost, and sustainable energy storage: using widely available commodity materials to democratize the supply chain, reducing emissions across the value chain by 40–50% compared to lithium-ion batteries, eliminating toxic and flammable components, and lowering manufacturing costs, thereby promoting clean, responsible, and accessible energy solutions worldwide.

By leveraging the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the team gains key advantages:

• Access to expert mentors: Dassault Systèmes provides guidance from some of the world’s leading specialists in design and simulation.
• Access to cutting-edge tools: The evolving ecosystem allows the team to work with some of the most advanced design and simulation tools available in the industry.
