Urban Electric Power (UEP) is a Harlem NY-based clean energy spin-out company of the CUNY Energy Institute, commercializing the advanced zinc anode rechargeable battery technology first developed under the direction of distinguished professor of chemical engineering, Sanjoy Banerjee, Ph.D.
Our technology uses safe, non-toxic, 100% recyclable materials without lead, heavy metals, or flammable electrolytes, and offers substantial cost benefits compared to existing battery chemistries because of the extended cycle life, high capacity at high charge/discharge rates, and low cost of starting materials. Manufacturing UEP’s line of batteries is substantially less expensive and more energy efficient than conventional lead acid battery production. Our affordable, sustainable energy storage systems are reliable, long-lived, and lead-free.
