    RheEnergise Versus our Competition

    How does RheEnergise stack up?


    To compare energy storage solutions, we use Levelised Cost of Storage (LCOS) — factoring in energy costs, discount rates, cycles per day, inflation, and project lifespan. It’s the fairest way to see what delivers the best value.


    The verdict on the competition:


    Li-ion Batteries: Too expensive for long-duration storage. Supply chains are vulnerable to tariffs and geopolitics, lifespan is short (10–12 years), and recycling poses environmental challenges.


    Flow Batteries: Dependent on costly, scarce vanadium, with limited long-term reliability and similar recycling concerns.


    Other Gravity Systems: Lifting blocks and similar tech need new structures, lots of concrete, and deliver limited efficiency — driving up costs and carbon footprints.


    Compressed Air: Site-limited, slow to build, risky, and only 40–50% efficient.


    Thermal Storage: High heat loss means low efficiency — not viable for long-duration needs yet.


    The RheEnergise edge:

    Our High-Density Hydro (HD Hydro) delivers sustainable, cost-effective, efficient (80% round-trip) and scalable long-duration storage — without the supply chain headaches or heavy footprint.
