Memorandum of Understanding signed with the Eden Project

David Harland, the Eden Project’s Chief Global Growth Officer, said: “We look forward to working closely with our friends at LiNa Energy on Eden Projects in Morecambe and further afield.” 

LiNa Energy is proud to announce a Memorandum of Understanding with the Eden Project, which paves the way for these green businesses to collaborate – locally and potentially nationally. LiNa Energy and the Eden Project have a shared goal of building a more sustainable future and this collaboration will enable them to work together towards installing green energy storage systems using LiNa’s sustainable sodium batteries at Eden Project sites such as Eden Project North, a proposed new exemplar attraction in Morecambe. 

LiNa is developing a battery free of lithium and cobalt and the goal of this Memorandum of Understanding is to deploy this clean tech innovation in a storage system which will enable Eden Projects to store their local renewable energy, making it available as and when it’s needed. The agreement covers feasibility, testing, and demonstration of the technology to validate it for future commercial installation. 

Dr Gene Lewis, added about the partnership with the Eden Project: “LiNa is developing a game-changing cobalt and lithium free battery technology that will accelerate our much-needed transition away from fossil-fuel derived power sources. It is absolutely fitting that LiNa has partnered with the Eden Project, a pioneering organisation that seeks to promote the technologies that are needed for a clean and green planet. This exciting collaboration also will give LiNa the opportunity to showcase globally its technology at one or more of the prestigious Eden Project sites. We are looking forward to seeing the LiNa battery in the wild!” 

David Harland, the Eden Project’s Chief Global Growth Officer, said: “We look forward to working closely with our friends at LiNa Energy on Eden Projects in Morecambe and further afield.” 

This partnership with the Eden Project enables commercial validation of LiNa’s technology and will demonstrate cells operating in a stationary energy storage system.  

Eden Project North will be a major new attraction in Morecambe, Lancashire, aiming to re-imagine the town as a British seaside resort for the 21st Century. It will inspire wonder and a connection with the natural world, drawing on the Eden Project’s focus on education, ecology, and community.
