Problem
Many industrial processes rely on fossil fuels to generate the high-temperature heat required for their operations, contributing significantly to carbon emissions. Renewable energy sources offer a sustainable alternative, but their intermittent nature and the lack of efficient heat storage solutions hinder their seamless integration into continuous industrial processes. This dependence on fossil fuels limits the transition to a fully renewable energy-powered industrial sector.
Solution
Saltes provides molten salt-based heat transfer and storage systems designed to enable the use of renewable energy in industrial applications. Their technology facilitates the efficient transfer and storage of high-temperature heat, allowing industries to integrate renewable heat sources into their processes. The ThermalPod® system stores energy during periods of excess renewable energy production and releases it when needed, ensuring a continuous and reliable heat supply. By using molten salt as a heat transfer medium, Saltes enables industries to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and transition towards a more sustainable and energy-independent operation.
Target Audience
Saltes targets industrial end-users seeking to decarbonize their operations and transition to renewable energy sources for high-temperature heat processes.
