Problem
Many industrial processes require continuous, high-temperature heat and power, traditionally supplied by fossil fuels, leading to significant carbon emissions and reliance on fluctuating fuel costs. Intermittent renewable energy sources alone cannot meet the always-on demands of these energy-intensive operations.
Solution
Antora Energy provides modular thermal energy storage systems that convert surplus renewable electricity into high-temperature heat, stored in solid carbon blocks, for on-demand delivery. This enables industries to electrify their thermal loads and operate continuously using low-cost, zero-emission energy. Antora's thermal batteries integrate with renewable energy sources or the grid, offering a predictable and cost-effective alternative to fossil fuels. The modular design allows for scalable deployment, serving loads from megawatts to gigawatts, while minimizing the plant footprint.
Target Audience
Antora's primary customers are energy-intensive industries such as steel, refining, chemicals, food & beverage, and renewable fuel producers seeking to decarbonize their operations and reduce energy costs.
