Antora’s modular thermal batteries convert low-cost, intermittent renewable electricity into always-on heat and power. How does it work? 1?? Antora’s thermal battery rapidly charges when electricity is cheap by resistively heating blocks of solid carbon—a low-cost, earth-abundant, and safe storage medium—to glowing-hot temperatures. 2?? The carbon blocks store energy at incredibly high temperatures, up to 2,400°C, in a compact and modular thermal battery. 3?? Energy is discharged 24/7 as heat at the scale and temperatures required by large industrial operations, or converted directly into electricity using Antora’s heat-to-power technology.

The world’s biggest decarbonization challenge comes not from cars, planes, or power plants, but from heavy industries, writes Daniel McCarthy in Canary Media Inc. Under a business-as-usual scenario, industrial sectors like steel and chemical production are on pace to emit as much CO2 equivalent as the power, transportation, and building sectors combined by 2050. Historically, industry has been described as “hard-to-decarbonize,” but cleaner pathways are emerging and being deployed now, McCarthy writes. Read more: https://bit.ly/48DQJ8W
