Welcome
Jolt’s all-organic energy storage compounds are designed for redox flow batteries. These large-scale batteries empower utilities to readily store energy generated from intermittent renewable resources like solar or wind, and then reliably deliver that energy when its needed.
Jolt’s unique, patented materials offer a higher voltage and energy density at a much lower cost than existing flow battery chemistries or large-scale li-ion batteries. They also eliminate the reliance on rare earth metals mining and complex global supply chains enabling a secure, domestic energy storage solution.
Jolt was founded by a team of passionate experts and researchers who have set out to revolutionize the field of energy storage. What began as research to make li-ion batteries safer has now given birth to energy storage materials that could change the way we store and transport energy across the grid.
Our Purpose
We are unlocking the power of organic materials as a clean and secure alternative for large-scale energy storage. By utilizing easily accessible, carbon-based materials, we can achieve the clean energy solution the US needs for both ecological and economic sustainability.
About Us
Tom Guarr and Jack Johnson founded Jolt in 2015 working on shunts designed to stop overcharging in lithium ion batteries. Through that research we discovered we where halfway to a unique battery technology and pivoted in 2019 after recognizing the need of low cost, long duration storage.
Based out of the MSU Bioeconomy Institute in West Michigan, Jolt has now raised several seed rounds of funding for continued breakthroughs in research and development. The team has discovered and patented an entirely new class of organic molecules, now with over 50 compounds synthesized. We are currently in the process of developing a path to commercialization for these highly valueable materials.
