ABOUND Energy Engages Coenda Investments to Drive Advancement of Long-Duration Energy Storage Platform
Richmond, BC, July 10, 2025 – ABOUND Energy, Inc., (“ABOUND” or the “Company”) (CSE: ABND) (FSE: 0E9) a Canadian innovator in long-duration energy storage (LDES), announced today that it has entered into a success-based representation agreement with Coenda Investments Holdings Corp., a Vancouver-based investment and advisory firm dedicated to enhancing shareholder value through strategic investments. Under the agreement, Coenda will work closely with ABOUND to identify and engage strategic investors and partners who can help accelerate the next phase of development for ABOUND’s advanced zinc-based Zaeras™ flow battery platform in Europe and North America.
“We believe the Zaeras™ system has the potential to reshape the way the world thinks about long-duration storage,” said Keith Morlock, Director and COO of ABOUND Energy. “By aligning with Coenda through a success-based model on developing strategic investments and manufacturing partnerships, we’re ensuring a shared focus on delivering real results and real value.”
While ABOUND will continue to develop trusted regional partners to advance localized solutions, this collaboration with Coenda marks the company’s first formal step toward advancing Zaeras™ as part of a global energy strategy, into the European market, Coenda brings a proven track record in high-level capital formation, having successfully completed multiple strategic, multimillion-dollar transactions across the energy, infrastructure, and clean technology sectors. The firm has already identified several well-aligned prospects and early engagement is off to a strong start.
“By leveraging Coenda’s global network, we are positioned to hit the ground running to identify and engage strategic investors and partners who can advance the next phase of ABOUND’s advanced zinc-based Zaeras™ flow battery platform in Europe and North America.,” said Kerem Akbas of Coenda Investments. “There’s clear opportunity and demand in the market for credible, scalable LDES technology and ABOUND fits that profile. One of our contacts in particular is highly motivated to engage, and we expect traction to build quickly from here.”
The partnership will focus on a range of opportunities, including:
- Strategic equity investments
- Joint development agreements
- Licensing and co-commercialization models
- Government and institutional funding alignment
- Strategic technology acquisition or integration
With global energy systems evolving rapidly, long-duration storage technologies like Zaeras™ will play a critical role in enabling reliable, cost-effective integration of renewable power. This engagement positions ABOUND to take a leading role in that transformation.

About ABOUND Energy Inc.
ABOUND specializes in developing scalable, environmentally friendly, long-lasting energy technology. Our patented Zaeras™ long-duration energy storage technology, leveraging zinc-air chemistry, guarantees the storage and on-demand delivery of electricity without the limitations or environmental risks associated with current market leaders.
About ABOUND’s Zaeras™ Technology
Zaeras™ is precision-engineered to meet future energy requirements, with a specific emphasis on simplifying long-duration energy storage. Harnessing the potential of its multi-patented Zaeras™ technology, ABOUND is poised to facilitate the seamless integration of green energy sources into the grid. This is achieved by minimizing curtailment, bridging the gap between supply and demand, and efficiently integrating green energy into the grid. ABOUND’s strategic initiatives encompass opportunities for peak demand reduction, leveraging time-of-use arbitrage, participating in value stacking programs, and entering the distributed long-duration energy storage sector. These endeavors are aligned with our central objective of increasing the integration and resiliency of green energy, while stabilizing the grid.
Distinguished by its inherent safety—free from fire or explosion hazards—Zaeras™ guarantees sustained capacity over an extensive lifecycle. Simultaneously, it showcases versatility by independently managing charge and discharge operations. Comparable to other Flow Battery technologies, scaling up the energy capacity of Zaeras™ is as simple as increasing the size of the fuel tank; a cost-effective solution, from kWh to MWh. This is a welcome alternative to the fixed power-to-energy ratio constraints ingrained in traditional systems, such as Li-ion and Zinc Hybrid Batteries.
