Rebound Tech’s AgileEnergy platform stores cooling as ice using its proprietary IcePoint® surface chemistry, which forms ice up to ten times faster than traditional thermal storage. By generating ice during off‑peak, low‑cost electricity periods and releasing it on demand, the system shifts cooling loads away from peak demand, lowering energy bills and providing precise temperature and humidity control for industrial facilities.

Problem
Industrial facilities must provide increasing amounts of cooling while contending with rising energy costs, peak demand charges, and grid stress. Traditional chillers operate continuously, often during the most expensive electricity periods, leading to higher operating expenses and limited ability to manage humidity or respond to fluctuating production needs.
Solution
Rebound Tech’s AgileEnergy platform converts cooling into a flexible thermal energy asset by storing cooling as ice using its proprietary IcePoint® surface chemistry, which forms ice up to ten times faster than conventional thermal storage. The system creates ice during off‑peak, low‑cost electricity periods and releases it on demand to meet peak cooling loads, thereby lowering utility bills and reducing peak demand charges. Faster ice formation enables compact storage, improving moisture control and thermal stability for sensitive processes. By decoupling cooling delivery from real‑time electricity consumption, the platform enhances grid flexibility and operational resilience for industrial users.
Target Audience
Primary customers are industrial facilities with high cooling requirements, such as food processing plants, aquaculture operations, and power‑generation sites that need to manage peak loads, humidity, and energy costs.
Features
