Introduction
Hello from Kraftblock!?
The past few months we initiated some great changes. We have recruited new people to strengthen our engineering team and round out the organization with IT and supply chain specialists and now have almost 40 people working for Kraftblock!
I have also personally sought a change in management: Having followed and dealt with regulation and policy for a long time, and seeing that things are moving forward, I wanted to focus on that side of the energy storage business to make sure it progresses further.
That is why we have brought in a new CFO, Tobias Nicolay, so that I can take on the role of Chief External Affairs Officer (CEA). I will be more involved in representing Kraftblock and we have already started to do that in the media. I am very excited about pushing the energy market and regulation in the right direction for a green transition. Read more about my role transition here.
Flexibility through storage is a key issue in the energy transition, so in our new white paper we show how beneficial thermal energy storage is in reducing costs. We also share our expertise on decarbonising the chemical industry and announce some new partnerships! ?
We wish you a happy holiday season and a great new year.
Cost benefits of flexibility
All signs show that the electricity market needs more and more flexible solutions. This is enabling great business models for battery storage in markets from Europe to the US and Australia. The battery boom shows that it pays off. However, industries currently have little potential to be flexible in their processes. Thermal energy storage is changing that, allowing industries to access electricity when it is cheap and avoid times of high costs. We take a closer look at these benefits for industry, utilities and the electricity system in our new white paper. Read more about it and download it here.
Carbon-neutral solutions for acrylic acid production

We took a close look at how the production of acrylic acid could stop emitting so many greenhouse gases. This included not only looking at bio-based production options, but also changing the current production process. The results are surprising. Learn more about it here.
Decarbonizing thermal energy in wood production
Wood gets attention as a material that is a potential carbon sink. Realizing this potential requires not only healthy ecosystems that store more carbon than they release, but also a clean production chain. This means moving away from fossil fuels. In this article, we explain what energy-intensive thermal processes are and how easy it is to replace fossil fuels.

Most of you will know this news as you probably seen them in our feed. If you missed some, here is a recap of what happened around Kraftblock in the last three months.
We hope, you enjoyed the topics and would love to hear your feedback. Happy holiday season and a great new year
Your Kraftblock team.
Very much interested to support projects and tasks in the world of Aluminium; e.g. Strategy, Key-Account-Management; Sustainability; Training/Coaching.
3 个月Great progress and knowing that 40% of global energy demand is linked to process heat the solution of KRAFTBLOCK is outstanding. Hope to see more projects launching soon.
