As tariffs, mineral supply chain risks, and battery fires dominate headlines, XL Batteries is building a different path forward. Our project with Stolthaven Terminals marks the commercial debut of our nonflammable, water-based Organic Flow Battery™. With a U.S.-developed and U.S.-made molecule at the core, our energy storage solution is built without critical minerals and without the fire risk associated with lithium-ion technologies. The result? A safer, scalable, and supply chain-resilient solution — a meaningful step forward for long-duration energy storage. Today, China controls over 90% of lithium-ion battery raw material production. XL’s technology avoids that dependency entirely, offering a path insulated from geopolitically sensitive materials, tariffs, and trade policy. Grateful to Phoebe Skok, MAS at pv magazine Global for highlighting this project and the broader potential of our technology.

We're excited to announce that Sentra has been named a 2025 SC Media Awards Finalist for Best Data Security Solution! 🎊 As more organizations move to multi-cloud, protecting sensitive data gets more challenging, but also more crucial. That’s why we built the Sentra Data Security Platform (DSP) to be smart, adaptive, and cloud-native from day one. This recognition from SC Media validates our mission: helping organizations scale data securely, stay compliant, and have confidence in an increasingly complex threat landscape. With AI-powered risk detection, real-time data insights, and cross-cloud visibility, we’re proud to be setting the standard for data security. Big thanks for this incredible recognition, and a huge shoutout to our amazing team whose dedication and hard work made this possible.
