Whitepaper: Thermal Storage in the Steel Industry

The flexibility of Kraftblock’s thermal storage system for high-temperature waste heat offers new opportunities in the steel industry. In this study, we have analysed sources of waste heat such as flare gases, electric arc furnaces (EAFs) and others, and present new insights into our project with Tata Steel.

A Concentrated solar thermal power plant (CSP). The project COOPERANT between Kraftblock and CIEMAT in Almeria, Spain validates the new CSP-TES concept.

Kraftblock’s innovative thermal battery offers large-scale, long-duration heat storage. This empowers industries to use renewable energy without the disadvantages of volatility. Kraftblock supplies steam, hot air, thermal oil, or hot water at temperatures between 50 °C and 1,300 °C. It also allows you to increase energy efficiency through heat recovery, to generate power from heat and to optimise CSP.

As Tempelman CEO, Eneco

“Kraftblock is the kind of solution we need to scale up and repeat because it makes a huge impact in a relatively short amount of time.”

Kraftblock is on a mission
to decarbonize the industry.

Martin Schichtel, Kraftblock CEO & Co-founder

The global climate crisis is progressing fast and devastating. The biggest lever for to slow the progress is to decarbonize the energy system. To use cheap and volatile sources like wind and solar, to transition heavy and hard-to-abate industries that run on high-temperature, a linking puzzle piece is needed: a unique energy storage. This is what we set out to made. Learn more about our journey and how you can become a part of our valuable team.
