Skip Tech
Skip Technology (Skip Tech) is a R&D lab designing the most sustainable, industrial strength, energy storage system under development today. This energy storage system will allow full utilization of renewables and improve grid reliability.
The Founders
The company was founded by two astrophysicists with expertise in fluid dynamics and system design. Unlike prevalent lithium-ion batteries, the Skip Tech energy storage system uses hydrogen and bromine chemistry making it safe for people and safe for the planet.

Benjamin Brown, PHD
Design & Science
Skip Tech’s design and science have been validated by the National Science Foundation (NSF), resulting in the receipt of a highly-selective NSF SBIR Phase II award.
Chemistry
The Skip Tech design and chemistry doesn’t degrade over time and solves long-standing problems for flow batteries.
Assembly
Their system will be assembled in shipping containers to simplify transportation and deployment.
The company plans to outsource assembly and manufacturing, leveraging the expertise of their network of experienced partners, allowing Skip Tech to maintain focus on product design and improvement.

NEXT GEN BATTERY STORAGE
The Science
While flow-batteries are a tried and tested technology, our novel liquid membrane makes Hydrogen-Bromine (HBr) systems economically viable. HBr flow-batteries have higher energy and power densities than any other flow-battery on the market, are safe, and use non-toxic, readily available, materials.
NEXT GEN
BATTERY STORAGE
The Science
“Liquid batteries have tried various thin-film membrane materials that could work, could last, or could be affordable, but rarely come through on all three counts. The liquid membrane delivers a trifecta.”

THE FOUNDERS
Skip Tech was founded in Portland, Oregon by physicists Dr. Brennan Gantner (CEO) and Dr. Ben Brown (CSO).
Dr. Gantner and Dr. Brown have known each other for more than two decades, starting with their concurrent pursuit of astrophysics PhDs at University of Colorado Boulder. They have a shared vision for a zero-carbon future and for providing tools to help communities adapt and thrive in a climate-changing world.
The name of their company, Skip Tech, is a reference to the time they shared riding the Skip bus-line as students in Boulder.
With their combined expertise in fluid dynamics science and designing, building and testing state of the art systems, the founders have unsurpassed advantages in the creation of their novel liquid battery.
