Why QED
Safe. Secure. Sustainable.
Non-combustible energy storage, a 100% North American supply chain with no lithium and no cobalt, and rechargeable cells made from materials that can be fully recycled.
Safe
Cannot enter thermal runaway
The electrolyte is engineered. Non-combustible and non-toxic.
Secure
No lithium. No cobalt.
All raw materials sourced from Canada and the US.
Sustainable
Rechargeable & recyclable
Built to be recharged, and fully recyclable at end of life.
Fast to charge
Charges to 90% in under ~3 minutes (per cell).
Ships as ordinary freight
Non-hazardous, so no dangerous-goods packaging, carriers or paperwork.
Sited where lithium can’t
No cooling, fire suppression or exclusion zones to design around. Local codes still apply.

The market today
What storage buyers live with
Most stationary storage today is lithium-ion, and lithium-ion systems are generally safe and work well. Accidents can and do happen, though. Beyond the safety risk, lithium-ion brings a concentrated supply chain that every project has to plan for.
76%
of the world’s mined cobalt came from one country, the DR Congo, in 2024.
2/3+
of the world’s lithium processing capacity belonged to Chinese companies (2022 data).
95%+
of the world’s planned 2030 sodium-ion battery manufacturing capacity is in China, counting plants built and announced.

Third-party public figures, cited as published. They describe the market, not QED’s products.
- Active cooling Manages thermal risk.
- Fire suppression Contains a fire if one starts.
- Steel armor and barriers Protects what sits nearby.
- Exclusion zones Set-back distance from anything that matters.
- Dangerous-goods shipping Hazmat packaging, restricted carriers, extra paperwork.
- Fire-code permitting Studies, sign-offs, and sometimes refusal.
- Insurance exposure Premiums that price in the fire.

Are QED products available yet?
QED products are in development and are not yet available for purchase, and there is no public pricing yet. Pre-sale inquiries are open: send one from any product on the Explore page, or from the Contact page, and a person on the team will reply.
What is the energy density?
210+ Wh/kg specific energy A small, button-shaped test cell used to measure a chemistry at laboratory scale.. That figure is measured in coin cells. Prismatic-cell figures are being measured now and will be added here as soon as they are validated. Where another chemistry does better on raw energy density today — NMC lithium-ion, for example — we say so.
How does QED compare with other battery chemistries?
We compare chemistries, not companies — LFP, NMC, sodium-ion and lead-acid are different classes with different strengths. QED’s advantage is at the system level: safety, durability, supply security and total cost of ownership. Where another chemistry does better — NMC on raw energy density today — we say so. Any comparison figure will carry a dated source.
Can QED be installed indoors?
Because the chemistry is non-combustible, a QED system does not need the fire-suppression, exclusion-zone and armouring measures that flammable chemistries require. That widens where storage can go — inside buildings, next to people, in dense areas. Local building and fire codes still apply, and QED system designs are still in development.
