Malta Inc. isn't building another lithium-ion battery; they are scaling a physics hack from the 19th century to solve the 21st century's hardest problem: storing renewable energy for weeks, not just hours. By converting electricity into molten salt and ice, they aim to decouple generation from consumption at a grid scale.

"Malta is playing the long game: betting that heat storage is cheaper and more durable than chemical storage for the grid."

The market positioning is aggressive. While competitors chase higher energy density, Malta chases duration and cost. Their system is designed to run for 10 to 200+ hours, bridging the gap between daily cycling batteries and seasonal storage.

• Targeting 10-200+ hour duration (longer than most competitors).
• Uses common materials (salt, water, antifreeze) rather than critical minerals.
• System life expectancy exceeds 20-30 years with minimal degradation.
