– Preliminary techno‑economic analysis (EBIC, 2025) estimates a material cost of ≈ $120 kWh⁻¹ for Juy‑108, versus ≈ $140 kWh⁻¹ for the latest NMC Li‑ion chemistries. Economies of scale and the use of abundant sulfur (≈ 5 % of global elemental sulfur production) are expected to drive the price below $100 kWh⁻¹ by 2029. juy-108
