California is exploring iron-salt batteries as a potential solution for providing emergency power in wildfire-prone areas. These batteries, composed of inexpensive and non-flammable materials, offer a safer alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries. The project aims to establish a reliable power source during grid outages, enabling critical infrastructure and community resilience in high-risk zones. The initiative reflects a growing focus on innovative energy storage solutions to mitigate the impacts of wildfires and enhance public safety.
