The firm leverages its existing lithium-ion production facilities, and its supply chain requires zero lithium, cobalt, copper, nickel or other minerals that are challenging to source. Natron intends to use the money to fast-track the production of its sodium-based battery technology, including industrial power and energy markets. Natron’s sodium-ion batteries are anticipated to be used to maximize uptime and optimize generator utilization to make sure of a lower-emission footprint for power generation. According to Liberty Energy, digiFrac is the industry’s first purpose-built, fully integrated electric frac pump with high power density and considerably lesser emissions compared with others available in the market.

LBRT and Natron will work in partnership to introduce sodium-ion batteries as an energy storage solution to provide uninterruptible backup power for Liberty’s digiFrac electric frac pumps. The California-based company, Natron Energy, specializes in manufacturing sodium-based batteries. Liberty Energy LBRT - the North American oilfield services firm - recently declared that it has made an investment in Natron Energy.
