This CEO has raised $100M for a metal battery targeting the $4T long-duration energy storage market projected by 2040. ⚡ My guest on this EFI (Entrepreneurs for Impact) podcast was James Larsen, CEO of e-Zinc. e-Zinc produces zinc-based long-duration energy storage technology with discharge durations between 10 and 100 hours. They have raised over $100M in funding and are building their first three commercial pilots. In addition to his role at e-Zinc, James is a Board Director of the Long Duration Energy Storage Council (LDES Council) and Energy Storage Canada, as well as a former Manager at Bain and MaRS. 🎯 In this episode, you’ll learn these four important takeaways. 1. How the long-duration energy storage sector is poised to become a $4T market by 2040 and its various use cases 2. Why he’s going to market with a “resilience as a service” business model (instead of a CapEx) 3. Why it’s essential to convert sustainability technology from cost centers into revenue centers 4. What Vipassana meditation is and why he starts his morning with it -- 🎤 Listen to the podcast interview with James today: Apple - https://lnkd.in/eJZkckSP Spotify - https://lnkd.in/eUjMPSsc
