April 19, 2024: Canadian-based company, ZincFive, has been announced a winner of the Overall CleanTech Innovation of the Year Award 2024.

The nickel-zinc battery manufacturer was selected on April 11 by CleanTech Breakthrough, the organizer of the awards.

This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 12 different countries throughout the world, say the organizers. “Award winners have been chosen based on their technological contribution to a more sustainable future.

“They are given to “honour and recognize breakthrough achievements and innovations in the clean technology industry”. They encompass a wide range of categories in the sector including renewable energy, smart grid technology and sustainable transportation.

ZincFive CEO and co-founder Tim Hysell, said: “We maintain that immediate power should be powerfully sustainable, as well as safe. That’s why, unlike other electrochemistries, the elements of our battery chemistry require fewer resources to produce and can be recycled again and again.

“And with zero risk of thermal runaway at the cell level, our batteries deliver high-rate immediate power that’s safe for both people and the planet.”

CleanTech Breakthrough is part of the Tech Breakthrough organization, a market intelligence company.
