GRST: Sustainability Across All Dimensions
GRST: Sustainability across all dimensions
Waves ripple through the Black Mass, revealing the power of water in a confined space. Within this small yet profound transformation, Water waves ripple across the battery electrode plane liberating the Black Mass materials for a fresh new life. Using the power of water, GRST has come up with a cleaner way to produce lithium-ion batteries that can be easily recycled. Wing Shya’s lens captures the essence of circularity —fluid and simple. The once rigid material dissolves showcasing a cleaner, more efficient future where technology flows in harmony with nature.
Both artists and technological innovators are exploring what is possible. – Frank Harley, GRST
The Decade-Long Pursuit of a Cleaner Future
For millennia, energy has driven civilization forward, yet its creation and storage has left an irreversible mark on the planet. Battery production risks becoming a hidden pollutant—releasing toxic solvents and “forever chemicals” that linger in the environment and mining virgin critical minerals. GRST envisioned a different future. Nearly a decade of relentless research led to WATMAR³, a groundbreaking water-based battery technology to attach battery materials to the electrode that eliminates hazardous chemicals entirely and is easily recyclable in water. With 150 patents secured across +50 patent families worldwide and commercial scale operations, GRST has redefined the foundation of sustainable energy storage, proving that power no longer has to come at the planet’s expense.
Innovation as a Craft of Restoration
True craftsmanship lies in transformation—turning what was once destructive into something regenerative. WATMAR³ operates at giga-scale, replacing industry-standard solvents and electrode binders with water and a water-soluble composite, removing PFAS Forever Chemicals from battery production. But innovation is not just about what is removed—it is about what is gained. GRST’s technology saves energy with no compromise in performance or cost. This is not just a cleaner battery; it is a revolution in energy storage, one that turns sustainability into a force of progress.
A Global Impact Recognised
GRST’s mission extends beyond innovation—it is reshaping the global energy landscape. As the first Hong Kong company to win the prestigious Earthshot Prize, often called the “Eco Oscars,” GRST has captured the world’s attention. With each breakthrough, GRST moves the world closer to a future where energy empowers without destruction, proving that circularity is not a limitation—it is the ultimate form of progress.
