Mining
Avoid Diesel, Reduce Costs and Increase Energy Resilience
The Problems We Help You Solve
Costly Diesel Dependence
Remote mining operations rely heavily on diesel for baseline power. Transporting fuel across isolated, vast terrain introduces extreme logistics costs and supply chain risks.
Mounting Pressure to Decarbonize
The sector faces intense scrutiny to hit aggressive sustainability targets. Transitioning to wind and solar requires reliable backup to avoid costly operational disruptions.
Harsh Environments and Thermal Limits
Mining can be extreme and limits the use of lithium-ion batteries which aren’t safe for underground use and perform poorly in cold and hot temps without expensive HVAC.
Inefficient Land Utilization
LFP battery systems require spacing between containers and battery units due to thermal runaway risks. Bigger system footprint and mandatory installation away from the power plant means higher costs.
The Benefits of Alsym Na-Series

Alsym’s Na-Series sodium-ion batteries help mining operations stay up and running, no matter the conditions.
Secure, Autonomous Power Generation
Inherently Safe, HVAC-Free Performance
Reduced Setbacks and Siting Constraints
Seamless Decarbonization and Backup
Typical Use Cases for Mining
Diesel Displacement
Pair local solar arrays and wind assets with containerized storage. Establish a 24/7 green baseline to confidently phase out diesel generation.
Microgrid Stabilization
Deploy robust, plug-and-play energy blocks into isolated networks. Smooth out intermittent renewable output to provide stable, grid-independent industrial power.
Heavy Fleet Electrification
Support the transition away from diesel-powered haul trucks and drills. High power density and rapid charging keep electrified fleets running at maximum productivity.
FAQ
Is Alsym’s technology safe for high-risk mining operations in severe climates?
Yes. Traditional lithium-ion batteries rely on highly flammable organic solvents that create significant fire hazards in active mining zones. Alsym's NFPP energy storage battery eliminates fire risk entirely at the chemistry level—generating no thermal runaway or explosions under UL 9540A testing. This safe battery for energy storage can be deployed directly into active mining or chemical refining environments without the need for complex, expensive fire suppression systems.
Can Alsym insulate North American mining projects from global supply chain risks?
Traditional grid batteries expose operators to volatile, foreign-controlled material supplies (like lithium, cobalt, and graphite) subject to strict tariffs and export bans. As an American domestic sodium battery manufacturer , Alsym uses globally abundant, non-conflict materials like sodium and iron. Our supply chain is completely FEOC-compliant and meets all federal domestic content adder requirements, ensuring mine developers get predictable pricing and maximum tax incentives.
How does Alsym help remote mine sites reduce diesel dependency?
By delivering highly dependable economics as heavy-duty off-grid microgrid batteries. Alsym features a greater than 95% round-trip efficiency and a service life exceeding 10,000 deep discharge cycles. Unlike lithium options that require strict charge buffers to avoid permanent capacity loss , Alsym enables a true 0% state of charge (SOC) capability. Operators can fully utilize 100% of the battery's capacity to survive extended outages without damaging the asset.
A Better Solution for our Energy Future
Alsym’s Na-Series battery platform is designed to go where lithium-ion can’t—safely, affordably, and at scale. From city rooftops to off-grid communities, we’re building storage that fits the future.
