Rail-Based Salgenx Saltwater Battery: A Mobile, Grid-Scale Energy Storage Solution

As global demand for reliable and flexible energy storage continues to rise, Salgenx presents a groundbreaking innovation: the Rail-Based Salgenx Saltwater Battery. Designed for grid-scale storage, this mobile system offers a safe, scalable, and highly adaptable alternative to lithium-ion batteries—without the risks of thermal runaway or fire hazards.

Solving the Stranded Energy Problem

Every day, gigawatts of power are wasted from renewable energy sources such as wind turbines and solar farms. These sources often generate electricity when it’s not needed—at night, during low-demand periods, or in remote locations not connected to the grid. Additionally, conventional power plants also produce excess off-peak energy that goes unused due to market constraints or lack of demand.

The rail-based Salgenx system captures this surplus energy at a fraction of the cost, stores it in saltwater batteries, and enables it to be transported wherever and whenever it’s needed.

Key Benefits

• Fire-Safe Chemistry: Saltwater chemistry eliminates the thermal risks associated with lithium-based batteries, offering enhanced safety for mobile and remote deployment.

• Energy Arbitrage: Charge at off-peak rates as low as $0.01 to $0.05 per kWh, and discharge at locations where power commands $0.20 to $1.00 per kWh, such as EV charging stations or during grid peak pricing events.

• Mobility and Versatility: The system is housed in standard railcars, enabling easy integration into existing freight networks and rapid deployment to high-demand zones.

Use Cases

1. EV Charging Infrastructure

• Deploy railcars to urban areas, highways, or event venues where EV charging demand spikes.

• Power EV stations without building new grid infrastructure.

2. Peaker Power Replacement

• Replace noisy, fossil-fuel-driven peaker plants with clean, silent battery power on demand.

3. Remote and Off-Grid Locations

• Deliver energy to mining operations, forestry camps, or agricultural zones lacking grid access.

4. Disaster Recovery and Military

• Power critical infrastructure after natural disasters or in battlefield logistics where fuel transport is risky and costly.

5. Mini Grids and Microgrids

• Support rural electrification efforts with mobile batteries that arrive full and are swapped out as needed.

6. Industrial Applications

• Serve construction sites, ports, or offshore operations requiring large bursts of energy with minimal setup time.

Flexible Deployment

Each railcar contains thousands of kilowatt-hours of stored energy. Units can be coupled together for larger loads, staged at intermodal rail yards, or offloaded via crane for stationary microgrid integration. With zero risk of fire or toxic gas release, these saltwater batteries can be deployed in populated areas, tunnels, or underground facilities where lithium systems pose unacceptable hazards.

Conclusion

The Salgenx Rail-Based Saltwater Battery redefines how we store and deliver power. By turning the rail network into a distributed energy platform, it enables a more resilient, flexible, and economical grid—while opening new opportunities for clean energy distribution across every sector of society.

For utilities, municipalities, military planners, and private enterprises, the message is clear: the future of grid-scale energy storage is not just stationary—it's mobile.

Real World Application

CNJ Rail Corporation originally present the concept to us and have a interest in a non-lithium based grid-scale battery. The concept of moving energy by train is not new, in fact it's being developed in Colorado and is called the Sun Train.
