Driving the implementation of affordable & green heat for industry
Affordable decarbonization of industrial heat
Industry aims to decarbonize while staying cost competitive, but rising energy and emission costs make this challenging. Electrifying heat with low-cost solar and wind is a solution, yet factory heat demand rarely aligns with renewable energy availability. Without flexible grid use and affordable energy storage, electrification remains costly and inefficient.
Industrial competitiveness and rising costs
Rising gas prices and CO₂ emission fees under schemes like the EU ETS are increasing production costs for industries. To stay competitive, companies must lower these costs and reduce reliance on a single fuel by diversifying their energy sources.
Matching renewable supply and heat demand
Industrial heat makes up 20% of global energy use and mostly relies on fossil fuels, while solar and wind are cheaper and cleaner alternatives. To match their intermittent supply with constant factory demand, affordable energy storage is essential.
Grid flexibility for electrification
Electrifying industrial heat without flexible use of the grid leads to high investment costs and expensive grid fees. Since grid capacity is often sized for peak demand and remains underused, shifting electricity use to times of availability helps lower costs and pressure on the grid.
ThermalPod heat battery
The ThermalPod heat battery offers a solution for decarbonising industrial heat. It reduces production costs by electrifying the demand for heat with surplus renewable electricity, decarbonizing heat demand and lowering reliance on fossil fuels. It also efficiently uses grid capacity by enabling flexible electricity use, minimizing peak demand strain, and reducing grid fees.
A solution for your factory in the process industry
The ThermalPod provides on-demand heat ranging from 100 to 400 degrees, delivered as steam, thermal oil, hot water, or air, all powered by affordable renewable electricity. It is designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing assets and easily fit into your current heat infrastructure.
