Gerchamp recently released a White Paper titled Gerchamp Ni-Zn battery climate white paper which systematically examines the environmental positioning of nickel-zinc battery technology across key sustainability dimensions. 

## Executive Summary

As global digital infrastructure expands rapidly, the environmental performance of backup power systems has become a critical consideration. Data centers, telecommunications networks, and mission-critical facilities demand energy storage solutions that are not only reliable but also aligned with sustainability commitments.

Gerchamp's nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery is purpose-built for data center UPS applications. It offers a
combination of environmental advantages and high-performance specifications that distinguish it from conventional battery chemistries including lithium-ion, lead-acid.

This white paper presents a qualitative and directional environmental assessment of Gerchamp's NiZn battery technology. It is designed as a conceptual framework to illustrate the relative environmental positioning of nickel-zinc chemistry and support informed procurement and sustainability decisions.

## Key Environmental Advantages

- Lead-free, no heavy metal leakage risk, and no highly toxic organic solvents.
- Lower GHG intensity per kWh of stored energy compared to lithium-ion.
- Significantly faster carbon payback time relative to competing battery technologies.
- Uses zinc and nickel — materials that are more abundant in the earth's crust than lithium.
- Minimal cobalt content, mitigating supply chain ethics and scarcity concerns.
- Compliant with UL9540A, RoHS, TTL, and EU2023/1542 regulations.

## Alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals

Gerchamp's NiZn battery technology supports four United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs): SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 12
(Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
