Problem
Industrial processes rely heavily on burning fossil fuels to generate heat, resulting in high CO₂ emissions, exposure to volatile fuel prices, and limited flexibility in energy sourcing.
Solution
NOC Energy offers the NOC Cell, a system that directly electrifies industrial heat by converting clean electricity into hot process gas. The technology incorporates thermal energy storage, allowing excess renewable power to be captured and released as heat when needed. By integrating with existing fossil‑gas infrastructure, the solution enables a hybrid operation that can switch between electric and gas sources, minimizing carbon output while maintaining reliability. The approach reduces dependence on high‑cost or geopolitically risky fuels and aligns industrial heat production with the growing availability of renewable electricity.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers and process industries that require large‑scale, continuous heat—such as chemicals, steel, cement, and food processing—and are seeking to lower emissions and energy costs.
