Industrial heat is changing and economics decide how fast
Most industrial heat is still produced with natural gas. That exposes companies to volatile fuel prices, rising CO₂ costs and increasing regulatory pressure. Electrification is inevitable but only works if it makes economic and operational sense.
ENERGYNEST exists to make that transition viable. We develop power-to-heat and thermal storage systems that allow industrial companies to electrify process heat where it makes economic sense:delivering reliable heat, lower costs and reduced emissions under real market conditions.
ENERGYNEST was founded in 2011 by Professor Pål Bergan and Øivind Resch with a clear engineering ambition: to make high-temperature thermal energy storage industrially viable at scale.
What began as fundamental research into solid-state thermal storage has since evolved into a fully integrated power-to-heat and thermal storage system for industrial process heat. Early pilot projects and peer-reviewed validation laid the technical foundation. Today, ENERGYNEST focuses on one clear outcome: enabling industrial companies to electrify heat at lower cost than gas, without adding operational or financial risk.
Over the past decade, we have translated research into robust, modular infrastructure designed for real-world industrial environments. Our ThermalBattery™ technology, combined with power-to-heat systems, market optimization and flexible delivery models, is now being deployed in large-scale industrial applications across energy-intensive sectors.
ENERGYNEST works closely with established European suppliers, EPC partners and industrial customers to deliver reliable heat infrastructure that integrates seamlessly into existing plants. With systems in operation and further projects under development, we are supporting industry in turning electrification into a pragmatic, economically sound upgrade.

At ENERGYNEST we combine an entrepreneurial mindset with collaborative green engineering expertise, to offer innovative industrial solutions for
a renewable future. We dare to lead, think flexibly and take action for sustainability – every single day.
ENERGYNEST develops and delivers industrial power-to-heat systems that are designed to perform under real operating conditions. Our focus is simple: making industrial heat cheaper than gas, while maintaining reliability, safety and long-term performance. We work with energy-intensive industries and infrastructure partners to deploy thermal storage systems that deliver measurable economic value and reduced emissions — without adding operational risk.
Power-to-heat enables food manufacturers to flexibly electrify process heat and reduce gas consumption. Thermal storage decouples electricity use from production, creating greater economic flexibility.
Short-term demand spikes drive up electricity-related costs unnecessarily. Managing them effectively lowers grid fees and creates additional flexibility in energy management.
