Problem
Many energy-intensive industries rely on fossil fuel combustion for process heat, resulting in significant carbon emissions. The high cost and volatility of natural gas, coupled with increasing CO2 certificate costs, create a need for cost-competitive and sustainable alternatives.
Solution
HyperHeat provides zero-carbon industrial heat generation by utilizing renewable electricity and thermal storage to achieve process temperatures up to 1,950°C. This technology replaces fossil fuel combustion in energy-intensive processes such as cement burning, steel and glass melting, and basic chemical production. By using renewable electricity and thermal storage, HyperHeat offers a cost-competitive alternative to natural gas while supporting grid stability through demand response capabilities. The solution aims to enable energy-intensive industries to reach zero carbon emissions at scale and at a lower cost than traditional methods.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes companies in energy-intensive industries like cement, steel, glass, and chemicals seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and energy costs.
