The Company's comprehensive offerings include proprietary gravity-based storage, battery storage, and green hydrogen energy storage technologies.

It looks like they used lithium ion batteries for this but I'm not confident in that. I only poked around their website a little, tho. I'm curious what gravity based would look like. Maybe I should poke around more!

That's really cool! I'm not sure where this fits in on the renewable spectrum (i could have missed it) but I haven't heard about this. Thanks for sharing!
