About

Founded in 2013, Gelion is a public headquartered in Norwich, United Kingdom with approximately 50-200 employees specializing in Energy Storage.

Gelion plc is a publicly listed energy storage company advancing the transition to sustainable, electrified energy systems. The company develops and commercializes next-generation sulfur-based battery technologies, including lithium-sulfur (Li-S) and room-temperature sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries using its proprietary Nano-Encapsulated Sulfur (NES) cathode active material. These technologies are designed to deliver high energy density, cost-effectiveness, and safety by leveraging abundant, low-cost sulfur instead of supply-constrained materials like nickel and cobalt. Gelion operates through three primary business divisions: (1) Core Technology Development focusing on Li-S and Na-S battery advancement in Sydney and Nottingham; (2) Integration Solutions delivering customized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for commercial, industrial, utility and telecommunications sectors; and (3) Battery Minerals, a wholly owned subsidiary developing innovative lithium-ion battery recycling technology to support a circular battery economy. The company has established strategic partnerships with leading organizations including TDK Corporation, Max Planck Institute, QinetiQ, Glencore, and Ionblox, and has secured significant government funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), UK Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC), and Department for Business and Trade (DBT). Gelion's technology roadmap progresses from R&D through prototype validation toward commercial scale-up, with initial market focus on high-energy-density applications (EVs, e-aviation) and cost-sensitive stationary storage (grid, C&I). The company holds an extensive patent portfolio protecting its cathode materials, cell designs, manufacturing processes, and battery management systems across key global markets.
