Senator Jim Rosapepe joins Ion Storage Systems in celebrating bringing manufacturing to Beltsville
I was glad to join Governor Moore, Congressman Glenn Ivey, and others to learn about ION Storage Systems, a young tech company founded by University of Maryland scientists to manufacture safe, high-energy-density, fast-charging solid-state batteries (SSB) right here in Beltsville. The technology is a more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and durable solution designed to replace the current Lithium battery technology. If electrification is mission-critical to fighting climate change, then a technological leap in energy storage is mission-critical to electrification. That's what this new battery manufacturing plant in Beltsville is all about.

We are happy to highlight our scholarship recipients and wish them a successful academic year. One outstanding Beltsville student is Geidy Melissa Menendez Cervantes, who will attend the University of Maryland College Park and major in Chemical Engineering.
