Problem
Many industrial processes rely on high-temperature heat generated from fossil fuels, contributing significantly to carbon emissions. Existing electric heating solutions often struggle to achieve the necessary temperatures or lack the energy density for cost-effective thermal energy storage.
Solution
Electrified Thermal Solutions provides the Joule Hive™ thermal battery, a system centered around electrically conductive firebricks that deliver decarbonized heat up to 1,800°C for industrial applications. The Joule Hive™ replaces fossil fuel combustion with direct electric heating, enabling the use of renewable energy sources or off-peak electricity. The system stores thermal energy with over 95% efficiency, offering a cost-effective and scalable solution for high-temperature industrial processes. By integrating with existing manufacturing processes, the Joule Hive™ facilitates the transition to sustainable heat in sectors like steel, cement, and glass production.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes companies in industries requiring high-temperature heat, such as steel, cement, glass, and chemical production, seeking to decarbonize their operations and reduce energy costs.
