C-Suite Executives & Chief Engineers: In energy-intensive industries like metal production, lithium processing, food & beverage manufacturing, and fully automated plants, controlling operational costs while maintaining efficiency is a constant challenge. Rising electricity prices and sustainability pressures are forcing manufacturers to rethink how they manage energy.
What if your biggest energy expense could become a new revenue stream?
TESS Energy’s Thermal Energy Storage System (TESS) is helping manufacturers capture, store, and repurpose waste heat, turning it into low-cost electricity, emergency backup power, and even a sellable asset.
Why Waste Heat is Your Most Overlooked Asset
In large-scale industrial operations, 30-50% of the energy purchased is lost as waste heat. This happens through:
?? High-temperature furnaces in steel, aluminum, and lithium battery production ?? Industrial ovens and boilers in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical plants ?? Steam & cooling systems that support automated manufacturing lines
For years, manufacturers have paid twice—first to purchase electricity, then to dispose of excess heat. But now, with TESS Energy, companies can monetize that waste heat instead of losing it.
How TESS Energy Transforms Waste Heat into Profit
TESS Energy’s Thermal Energy Storage Solutions allow manufacturers to:
? Capture excess heat from industrial processes ? Convert it into electricity, reducing dependence on the grid ? Store energy for later use to manage peak demand ? Sell surplus power back to the grid, creating a new revenue stream ? Reduce carbon emissions and qualify for tax credits & sustainability incentives
Real-World Benefits for Industrial Facilities
?? Metal & Lithium Processing Plants – Offset high energy costs and increase energy efficiency by up to 40%.
?? Food & Beverage Processing – Convert waste heat into low-cost electricity, reducing operational expenses.
?? Automated Manufacturing Plants – Use stored thermal energy to prevent demand surges and lower peak-hour pricing.
?? Pharmaceutical & Chemical Plants – Ensure reliable backup power while cutting carbon emissions.
No Upfront Costs – Immediate Savings
TESS Energy solutions are available through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS)models, meaning:
?? No capital investment required ? Guaranteed electricity rates lower than market prices ?? Backup power for improved facility resilience
