About the offering
We aim for humanity to transition entirely to renewable energy sources through the creation, implementation, and global expansion of sustainable batteries in the energy storage market. SorbiForce addresses the challenges of renewable energy storage with a patented, cost-effective battery made from safe, recyclable materials and renewable resources readily available in the U.S. In 2024, it graduated from the prestigious Plug and Play accelerateAZ program (First Sustainability Cohort), gaining expert guidance, industry connections, and global exposure to propel its mission forward. Led by top innovators, including a globally recognized scientist and experienced entrepreneurs, SorbiForce brings 7 years of R&D and cutting-edge expertise to redefine energy storage. SorbiForce collaborates with the University of Arizona’s Center for Innovation to advance its technology and has developed a scalable battery production module ready for industrial deployment. Recognized by Google with grant support and awarded by VentureWell, supported by GIST and the U.S. Department of State, SorbiForce has raised over $1M+ in funding and achieved key milestones, including 99.7% Coulombic efficiency in the lab. According to McKinsey’s (report), the battery industry is projected to grow from $98 billion in 2022 to $1.1 trillion by 2040. The Pitch A Game Changer for the Energy Storage Industry SorbiForce is redefining energy storage with patented, cost-effective, and fully recyclable battery technology. Our metal-free batteries last 5,000+ cycles, ensuring safety, affordability, and zero environmental impact. With 7+ years of R&D, 5 patents, and $686K raised in 2024 from 890 investors across 38 countries, we tackle renewable energy storage challenges. Backed by the US Department of State, Google, and Brite, we hope to scale industrial production and capture a piece of the battery market which is expected to gro to $1.1 trillion by 2040. Easy Disposal Our batteries, engineered for extended durability, can be effortlessly recycled upon reaching the end of their useful life. THE PROBLEM & OUR SOLUTION The Problem The renewable energy sector faces a critical bottleneck—up to 30% of generated electricity is wasted due to the lack of reliable energy storage solutions (California Independent System Operator). Traditional batteries are unsustainable, relying on scarce, expensive materials like lithium and cobalt, and their end-of-life disposal creates significant environmental harm. This instability limits the scalability of renewable energy and threatens its long-term viability. Source, Source Our Solution The Sustainable Battery Built for the Circular Economy The battery is resistant to mechanical damage, non-flammable, and non-explosive. Source *The product shown above represents SorbiForce’s sustainable battery technology which is not yet currently available on the market. This image is for illustrative purposes and may not reflect final commercial packaging or design. Scientific Breakthrough The SorbiForce sustainable battery has no issues with overcharging, requires no complex cooling, and does not experience thermal runaway. Firefighters also use our battery electrolyte salts. Achieving an Equilibrium of Cost-effectiveness, Safety, and No Environmental Impact We've developed an optimal energy storage system that seamlessly blends crucial features. Additionally, we've engineered SorbiForce batteries to endure over 6000 charge/discharge cycles. THE MARKET & OUR TRACTION The Market SorbiForce targets key industries, including renewable energy plants, data centers, and electric vehicle infrastructure, addressing the critical need for cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy storage. The global battery market is projected to grow from $98 billion in 2022 to an estimated $1.1 trillion by 2040 (source). Batteries ranked in the top 10 of 18 potential future arenas that could generate up to $48 trillion in total. With renewable energy expected to account for 90% of global energy production by 2050, the demand for reliable, sustainable energy storage solutions continues to grow (source). Product-Market Fit The New Standard for Energy Storage Systems We believe SorbiForce batteries are more than energy storage—they embody a new philosophy, a reimagined relationship with nature. Designed from renewable materials, they offer true independence and sustainability, aiming to shape the foundation of a new civilization. We aim to establish a standard for power plants and data centers, enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and security while developing SorbiForce’s partnership ecosystem. This includes regulatory alignment, industry collaboration, and certification programs to drive adoption and innovation. Power Plants: Solar & Wind. Energy storage systems manage the intermittency of renewable energy and balance supply and demand. Powering AI: Data Centers & Backup Energy. As AI grows, so does the demand for data centers and backup energy systems to prevent downtime, manage load shedding, and avoid blackouts. Our product of choice is cutting-edge batteries We are confident in the success of our batteries due to two key factors: Firstly, we've identified a rapidly expanding trend in the green energy market.
