HEAT BATTERY
WHAT WE OFFER
Industrial heat needs attention
Heightened attention is needed around industrial emissions; only Power Gen has reduced carbon footprint.

Medium temperature heat is the target
Low & medium heat processes dominate industrial thermal emissions and account for ~76% of total.
Source: Renewable Thermal Collaborative (RTC), NREL Manufacturing Thermal Energy Use in 2014 (provides thermal energy use by temperature); EIA Outlook 2019 (provides 2018 energy consumption by fuel); EPA emissions intensity by fuel.
National Science Foundation realized it too
In July 2024, EarthEn received NSF funding to create a novel packed-bed thermal energy storage.
