About the Company

Antora Energy

Thermal energy storage for industrial heat

Antora Energy stores renewable energy as heat to provide zero-carbon heat and power for heavy industry. It converts excess solar and wind power into heat and stores it in carbon blocks as a thermal battery, which can later supply electricity or industrial process heat up to 1500°C on demand. This approach targets industries that need large amounts of heat and high temperatures, a use case traditional batteries can’t meet. Its goal is to decarbonize heavy industry by making renewable energy storage and delivery for heat and power practical, scalable, and financially viable.
