Energy
In essence, we charge our thermal batteries at the time when electricity is cheapest on the grid... and then use that electricity to heat up carbon blocks, which store energy as heat in the insulated battery modules
electricity to heat up carbon blocks, which store energy as heat in the insulated battery modules. Carbon is a material we favor not only because it is extremely cheap but also abundant. Additionally, it is known for its safety and has been a staple in industries for centuries, ranking as the fourth most produced industrial material in the world. The carbon blocks absorb and store this heat, before releasing it as heat when the customer requires, often round-the-clock. An exceptional property of carbon is its ability to withstand high temperatures, allowing us to store heat up to 2400 degrees Celsius, a feat unparalleled by most other materials. Furthermore, its exceptional energy density ensures our batteries remain compact and modular. As a result of this modular, factorybuilt approach, we can customize our projects based on our customers’ needs and scale them up to meet the customer’ s thermal demand. While our first product focuses on providing heat exclusively, we are also excited about our upcoming combined heat and power offering. This innovative product utilizes thermophotovoltaic technology to convert
