One area of importance to consider as the Ecoult experience and project outcomes are reviewed with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, is the timing and balance of apportionment of resource between early commercialization and the fundamental understandings needed to achieve the performance and consistency objectives.Ī second is the tight boundaries in focus that were sustained by Ecoult. The Ecoult team and EPM worked closely together toward innovation goals and decisions were made in a collective manner by a governance team with high mutual respect and trust based on our best understandings as we progressed. Innovation is a process of creating the conditions to uncover new knowledge and understanding and to capture it for productive purpose. In this presentation of lessons learnt we have tried to present the circumstances objectively as there are many assessments that can be made. The case can be made that Ecoult had access to adequate resource, and, that it is possible for lead acid systems to achieve the needed performance and consistency to attain a major position in the energy storage segment. It also had the benefit of committed focus from a dedicated team of very talented employees. We remain convinced that lead acid technology can achieve the performance and consistency needed to significantly extend the contribution it is already making to supporting wider adoption of renewable energy generation and providing remote power where it is most needed and beneficial.Įcoult has had the benefit of tremendous support from its parent East Penn Manufacturing (EPM) and from key stakeholders in its mission including ARENA. However, circumstances have resulted in an outcome that will see Project Fulfil mutually terminated without Ecoult achieving all of its goals. The project involved the commercialisation of the technology so the UltraBattery can compete in markets that require it to operate at a PSoC.
