ABOUT E-ZINC

e-Zinc is an energy storage venture based in Toronto with a breakthrough technology poised to disrupt the market. As the global energy grid moves to higher levels of penetration of renewable energy, there is a surging need for affordable, flexible, long-duration energy storage. e-Zinc is uniquely positioned to meet this demand as the first company in the world to “metalize” electricity.

Backed by over CAD $80 million in funding from leading global strategic and financial investors - such as Toyota Ventures, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Eni, Evok Innovations, and BDC - e-Zinc has garnered international recognition for its proprietary technology and visionary roadmap. Highlights include:

• Named to the Global Cleantech 100 for four consecutive years (2022–2025)
• $1M Grand Prize winner of the Impact Canada Charging the Future Challenge
• Awarded a $1.6M grant from Breakthrough Energy Solutions Canada
• Secured over $12M in funding across three projects from Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC)
• Recipient of a USD $1.3M grant from the California Energy Commission

As e-Zinc moves toward commercialization, e-Zinc is expanding its team to bring our transformative technology to market and support the future of renewable energy.
