About

LiNa Energy was created as a spin-out of Lancaster University, where founders Dr Gene Lewis and Dr Richard Dawson combined their world-leading expertise and successes in ceramics and electrochemistry.

Since then, our growing team has developed an innovative solid state sodium-based battery technology which offers superior safety and sustainability standards compared to lithium-based batteries.

 

 

Based in Lancaster with newly expanded lab facilities, LiNa Energy is privately held  and boasts an energetic team of engineers and electrochemists alongside commercial and product development experts.  We are ambitious and galvanised around our mission: to help the energy and industrial sectors get to Net Zero faster.
