Enagás Emprende celebrates a new milestone in the journey of its investee Basquevolt toward advancing the energy transition: the Basque company, in which Enagás participates through Enagás Emprende, is doubling down on its technological and strategic commitment to developing electrolyte for solid-state batteries.

This breakthrough marks a decisive step in consolidating Basquevolt as a key supplier in Europe and strengthens its ability to lead the next generation of energy storage. The company is focused on developing and industrializing a disruptive electrolyte designed to integrate seamlessly into existing cell production lines, with the potential to increase the energy density of current batteries by more than 50%.

An innovative and scalable technology that will drive electric mobility, stationary storage, and new solutions for sectors such as aerospace and lightweight mobility. This advancement aligns with our partners’ commitment to accelerating a secure, efficient, and sustainable energy transition.

Enagás Emprende has supported Basquevolt since its inception, with a clear commitment to deep-tech startups, high-impact national technological innovation, and a public-private collaboration model that creates value for both industry and society. The recent financing, backed by Ekarpen, Stellum, and CDTI Innvierte, will provide the company with the resources needed to execute its industrial plan and begin large-scale production by 2027.

This new stage will be led by Pablo Fernández Santos, previously Chief Technology Officer and now the new CEO of Basquevolt, who brings his vision and experience to tackle the technical and strategic challenges of the coming years. His leadership reinforces the company’s commitment to developing proprietary technology, conceived in the Basque Country but with a global perspective.

At Enagás Emprende, we continue to support Basquevolt’s growth, convinced that next-generation energy storage will be key to the future of the European energy system. This initiative exemplifies the kind of transformative projects we promote through our entrepreneurship and open innovation program, in collaboration with strategic partners to foster projects that accelerate decarbonization and strengthen industrial competitiveness.
