Antora Energy focuses on providing zero-carbon industrial heat and power through renewable energy solutions. The company uses thermal energy storage to convert excess solar and wind electricity into heat, which is stored in carbon blocks. These thermal batteries can deliver heat or electricity on demand, reaching temperatures up to 1500°C. Antora Energy's business model revolves around producing and selling these thermal batteries to heavy industries, such as manufacturing and processing plants, that need large amounts of heat and power. This approach helps industries reduce their carbon emissions while offering a cost-effective alternative to fossil fuels. Antora Energy aims to support the decarbonization of heavy industries, tapping into a significant market opportunity for cleaner energy solutions.
