Octave | A propos de nous

À PROPOS DE NOUS

En tant que leader dans le secteur du stockage d'énergie par batteries de seconde vie, nous développons des solutions durables pour la transition énergétique. Notre approche innovante s'inscrit dans une démarche circulaire, afin de réduire les déchets. Découvrez comment nous contribuons à un avenir plus propre et plus circulaire pour tous.

Nous sommes convaincus que cela a peu de sens d'utiliser des batteries neuves pour le stockage d'énergie stationnaire. Les batteries considérées comme étant en fin de vie dans les véhicules électriques ont encore une capacité utilisable (SoH) supérieure à 80%, avant d'être recyclées. La mission d'Octave est de donner une seconde vie aux batteries des véhicules électriques et de les reconvertir systèmes de stockage d'énergie flexibles et durables.

REJOIGNEZ-NOUS

Chez Octave, nous chérissons la créativité, la durabilité et l'entreprenariat. Nous sommes constamment à la recherche de personnes passionnées pour rejoindre notre aventure. Si vous êtes prêt à relever un défi dans une startup cleantech, faites-nous signe à recruitment@octave.energy !

CIRCULAIRE

Alors que le secteur de l'e-mobilité est en plein essor, la durabilité des batteries lithium-ion suscite des inquiétudes. Chez Octave, nous nous engageons dans une économie circulaire et réduisons l'empreinte carbone globale de nos batteries.

TECHNOLOGIE DE POINTE

Nous exploitons des algorithmes de big data et de machine learning pour analyser le comportement et la dégradation de notre flotte de batteries, prolonger leur durée de vie et optimiser les performances de chaque système de batterie

RENOUVELABLE

Les batteries sont complémentaires aux énergies renouvelables et permettent de palier l'intermittence de l'énergie solaire et éolienne, et d'offrir de la flexibilité au réseau électrique.
