SorbiForce is creating the world’s first non-metal sustainable battery.

Developed with the help of patented technology and funding from the U.S. State Department and Google, this battery is environmentally-friendly, cost-effective, and lasts longer than the competition.

As of 2022, Grand View Research pegged the global battery market at $104 billion. And everyone from utilities companies to electric-vehicle producers to alternative-energy businesses is increasing their usage of batteries.

But most existing energy-storage solutions are unprofitable, and depend heavily on costly minerals and metals. Furthermore, most batteries are a major source of pollution, particularly when it’s time to dispose of them.

SorbiForce’s battery is different. It has zero impact on the environment, is made using renewable raw materials and non-toxic products, is safe to use, and is cost-effective. It’s also designed for more than 5,000 charging cycles.

The company’s battery is resistant to mechanical damage. It’s also non-flammable, non-explosive, and has no problem with overcharging. Key components of this battery include:

Activated carbon — patented porous carbon material made of SorbiForce’s own design.

Technical carbon — fire-resistant material known for its high conductivity, used in the production of modern batteries.

Iodine, bromine, and zinc salts — these are bound in safe compounds and are inside carbon pores.

Water — water-based electrolytes eliminate the risk of battery combustion.

SorbiForce is led by a team of accomplished scientists, who together own twenty-five patents, including those instrumental in the protection of the company’s key technologies.

SorbiForce is collaborating with the Center for Innovation at the University of Arizona to develop its battery, and working with Squire Patton Boggs, one of the top patent-acquisition firms.

Once on the market, SorbiForce will use a business-to-business model, catering to large companies in the green-energy sector. These include solar and wind power plant developers, EV charging-station operators, and major energy firms.

The company projects to bring in $200,000 in revenue in Year 1, one million dollars by Year 3, and fifteen million dollars by Year 5. By 2030, SorbiForce aims to go public at a target valuation of ten billion dollars. If that valuation is achieved, investors today could earn 1,000 times their money.
