Increase energy efficiency in the steel and metal industry with Thermal Storage
Transitioning the steel and non-ferrous metals industry is a great challenge. Switching to renewable energy and recovering high-temperature waste heat with thermal storage presents enormous potential for resilient process heat supply of metal-processing industries. Increasing energy efficiency in steel mills and prividing process heat for supplying processes from renewable energy sources is possible with Krafblock's thermal batteries.

Whitepaper: Thermal Energy 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.
