- Zincs favor: Sourcing stability, sustainable mining in Europe, mature refining for batteries, recyclability contributing to a decarbonized economy.
- No thermal runaway risks, lower cost through standard materials, and reduced production energy due to dry manufacturing processes.
- Compared to lithium-ion batteries: Enhanced safety without special fire suppression components, potential for deployment in critical areas without explosion risk.
- Existing recycling infrastructure assists in cost-effective decommissioning.
