ZincFive^®, a leader in nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery-based solutions for immediate power applications, has once again been recognized by TIME, earning a place on the America’s Top GreenTech Companies 2026 list for the third consecutive year. Developed in partnership with Statista, the ranking evaluates companies based on environmental impact, financial strength, and innovation, placing ZincFive among a select group shaping the future of sustainable technology.

This year, the company ranked #142 out of more than 3,500 evaluated organizations and is one of only two companies headquartered in Oregon to be included on the list.

The recognition reflects continued momentum for ZincFive’s nickel zinc battery technology, which has gained traction as an alternative to traditional energy storage options in mission critical environments. As data centers evolve to support artificial intelligence and increasingly dynamic workloads, the need for power solutions that can deliver both performance and safety has become more pronounced.

ZincFive’s approach centers on immediate power, delivering high power density in a compact footprint while avoiding the risks associated with other battery chemistries. Nickel zinc batteries are designed to provide reliable performance without thermal runaway concerns and rely on more abundant, recyclable materials, supporting both operational and environmental goals.

For ZincFive, continued recognition from TIME signals more than a milestone. It reflects a broader shift in how the industry is evaluating power infrastructure, with greater emphasis on safety, sustainability, and long term performance.

“Earning a place on TIME’s America’s Top GreenTech Companies list for the third consecutive year reflects the growing role of nickel-zinc technology in delivering safe, sustainable power,” said Tod Higinbotham, CEO of ZincFive. He emphasized the company’s “power of good chemistry” approach to balance performance, safety, and eco-friendliness.​

The company’s inclusion builds on a series of recent awards recognizing its innovation in energy storage, particularly in applications where reliability is critical. As demand for resilient and efficient power continues to grow, ZincFive’s technology is increasingly positioned to support the next generation of digital infrastructure.

The industry’s premier celebration of excellence, innovation and hard work returns this autumn, at the Energy Storage Awards 2026.

With its Mobile Shore Power Outlet (iMSPO), igus has developed a mobile shore power system for ports that can be moved flexibly depending on the position of the ships at the berth. The system allows ships to shut down their diesel engines in ports, switch to more environmentally friendly shore power and thus significantly reduce […]

ZincFive^® has closed out 2025 with major industry recognition, earning top honors in the 2025 Power Technology Excellence Awards across four categories: Innovation, Product Launch, Safety, and Environmental Excellence. Powered by GlobalData’s business intelligence, the awards celebrate companies pushing the global power sector forward, and this year’s results underscore ZincFive’s accelerating leadership.

The wins reflect the company’s momentum as demand for high-power, low-impact energy storage solutions continues to intensify. With nearly 2 gigawatts of nickel-zinc (NiZn) systems deployed or contracted worldwide, ZincFive is helping operators meet the explosive requirements of AI-driven data centers while strengthening resilience and reducing environmental impact.

At the center of this progress is ZincFive’s Immediate Power Solutions portfolio, which blends patented NiZn chemistry with intelligent system-level engineering. These systems deliver millisecond-level responsiveness to dynamic loads and operate reliably at higher temperatures, reducing cooling requirements and improving overall efficiency. The award-winning BC 2 AI UPS Battery Cabinet extends this approach even further, providing fast-load support for GPU-intensive AI applications and traditional outage protection in a single compact system. By consolidating functions that once required multiple layers of equipment, it frees valuable white space and simplifies power architecture.

ZincFive’s wins also reinforce the company’s long-standing commitment to safety and sustainability. NiZn technology is inherently safe, built from abundant, recyclable materials and provides lifetime greenhouse gas emissions that are 25 to 50 percent lower than traditional lead-acid and lithium-ion options. This aligns with growing industry expectations for cleaner, more responsible power infrastructure.

These latest honors join a growing list of accolades, including recent recognition on TIME’s 2025 World’s and America’s Top GreenTech Companies lists, the 2024 Edison Award™, CleanTech Breakthrough’s 2024 Overall Innovation of the Year, and more, signaling a defining moment for ZincFive as it continues to set new benchmarks in mission-critical power.
