Introduction

Welcome to the first ever Kraftblock Newsletter!? As we are developing our technology in various industries and looking at energy transition solutions, we want to share our expertise with people looking to transform energy systems and supply, independent of processes fit for thermal storage or not. As the window to act is closing fast, a technology mix is the way to reduce emissions.?

This is urgent: For twelve consecutive months, the average global temperature has been 1.5°C above the pre-industrial average.?The next few years will be critical in the fight against global warming and will determine how much damage we can prevent from humanity.?

The energy sector, and especially process heat, is a major lever for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuels. And the exponential growth of renewable energies requires technologies for long-term energy storage. With Kraftblock we are determined and on our way to reduce millions of tons of carbon dioxide in industry. You can learn how in our updcoming webinar next week!

Whitepaper: Comparison of green technologies for industrial process heat

Heat storage, hydrogen or batteries for the industry??

That is an often asked question we get and there is not a simple answer as production and business cases vary a lot. However, to sort out possibilites and genereal benefits of each technologies we created a whitepaper containing a comparison between induction furnaces, e-boilers, batteries, hydrogen, bio energy and of course thermal energy storages. Here, you find the executive summary. If you like to read the whole 20-page document either write [email protected] with the subject 'Whitepaper' or write us a message here on LinkedIn by going to the KRAFTBLOCK page.

Decarbonizing aluminium production

With aluminium being one of the most important non-ferrous metals we need in our daily life and economy, we got to create a clean way of producing it. For both primary and secondary production we show what electrification, thermal storage and other ways can contribute in this article.

Electric steamcracking: A clean way to produce ethylene and propylene

At BASF, a new e-furnace goes in operation for steamcracking, paving the way for renewable energies being used in one of the most energy-intensive chemical produciton. Our CEO Martin Schichtel took a look at the production of ethylene and how to decarbonize it in his LinkedIn article.

We hope you found the topics and articles interesting. You have a industrial process that should be looked at. Send us a message. We also would love to hear your feedback!
