For industries to cost-effectively decarbonize industrial heat, they have to end their dependence on gas and start electrifying their processes with efficient thermal energy storage.

As a society, we need to reduce our energy demand and speed up the integration of renewables without negatively affecting industrial output. This means switching to solid-state thermal batteries that harness surplus, or off-peak power, and available industrial heat for use on demand as secure, green steam and heat.

Tamsin Lishman, Chief Revenue Office at ENERGYNEST, expands on what steps industries assessing feasible options can do when it comes to the decarbonization of industrial heat.

A long-term plan to disincentivize fossil fuel use and encourage more sustainable forms of power generation from businesses is urgently needed.

To achieve this, recognition of where our energy consumption goes is crucial.

Despite its high recycling rate, the paper industry faces major challenges, particularly in the energy-intensive production process. Thermal energy storage systems can play a key role here by efficiently utilising renewable energy and supporting the implementation of sustainable production methods.

ENERGYNEST announces the appointment of Alex Robertson as its new Chief Executive Officer to lead the company’s next phase of growth, effective 1 February 2025.

In a time of increasing energy crises, energy security is becoming a decisive competitive factor for companies. Thermal storage technologies make it possible to store energy efficiently, bridge supply gaps, and reduce dependency on volatile energy markets. Energy-intensive industries, in particular, benefit from greater resilience, lower energy costs, and a significant contribution to climate goals.
