Read MoreHide Full Article

Honeywell International (HON - Free Report) has announced a strategic collaboration with energy storage company, ESS Tech, Inc. (GWH - Free Report) to accelerate technology development and market adoption of iron flow battery (IFB) energy storage systems. As part of this agreement, HON has made an investment in ESS Tech.

ESS Tech provides safe, sustainable, long-duration energy storage to advance global decarbonization. Both Honeywell and ESS Tech carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

The partnership combines Honeywell’s advanced materials and energy systems expertise with ESS’ market-leading and patented IFB design, building upon each company’s development of energy storage systems.


The agreement is aimed at meeting the growing demand for long-duration energy storage (LDES) globally, thanks to the rapid increase in renewable power generation. Per LDES Council and McKinsey & Co., the global energy storage market is estimated to grow significantly from its current $50 billion per year, with a cumulative investment of up to $3 trillion by 2040.

The agreement will streamline the transition to clean energy through the usage of safe and IFB technology that allows for energy storage by leveraging iron, salt, water and other materials available abundantly, instead of relying on those available in limited quantities such as lithium, cobalt or vanadium.
