Thermal batteries have the potential to serve as the foundation of reliable low emissions electrified heat in chemical and refining plants across the country. By leveraging existing policy incentives and advocating for new …
A guide to bringing thermal batteries to chemical and refining plants across the United States. The heating needs of the chemicals and petroleum refining sectors account for 5 percent to 6 percent of US greenhouse gas emissions. Today, most of this heat is generated by burning natural gas or other fossil fuels.
Thermal batteries could be a key strategy for keeping factories running as efforts to cut their emissions warm up. Correction: An earlier version of this article misstated the location of Rondo Energy's factory. It is located in Thailand.
For one thing, these batteries can relieve the pressure on the grid by storing excess renewable energy while providing a cleaner source of heat to industries that have traditionally relied on fossil fuels. Antora's announcement of its new plant is clear evidence of this trend.
Justin Briggs, Antora’s co-founder and COO, says the new factory will begin producing thermal batteries next year, though Briggs was tightlipped on naming customers. (The company has technology that will allow its batteries to output both heat and electricity, but the current factory will produce batteries that output only heat at first.)
In addition, an internal price on greenhouse gas emissions can help bolster the business case for thermal batteries. Thermal batteries are a mature technology that can supply heat at temperatures up to 1800°C with up to 99 percent emissions reduction potential over natural gas-based heating, when charged with renewable electricity.
In an effort to clean up industry, a growing number of companies are working to supply that heat with a technology called thermal batteries. It’s such an exciting idea that MIT Technology Review readers have officially selected thermal batteries as the reader’s choice addition to our 2024 list of 10 Breakthrough Technologies.
