Maturity stage TRL 6 / 7 - Prototype demonstration 1:1

The patented Green Heat Module (GHM) enables supply of high temperature heat up to 1000 °C for any given load profile around the clock. This is accomplished by producing heat from electricity during times of availability, storing it with high efficiency and releasing it when needed. The GHM optimizes the use of decentralised, behind-the-meter PV and Wind Power installations, while also providing benefits when operating linked to the public electricity grid, where it provides stabilizing services by cutting production peaks and benefitting from dynamic electricity prices. Through this approach, it allows a cost-neutral change from natural gas to renewable energy for industry in the EU and other regulated markets. The GHM is an add-on solution for any thermal plant, which can be integrated without changing the production process itself. It fills a gap for technical challenging applications: Process steam production, thermal oil systems, CHP plants with steam turbines or drying processes.

The Environmental Benefits

  • : High conversion efficiency up to 95 % to reduce the need of renewable energies
  • Supply of industrial process heat around the clock with no direct CO2 emissions
  • High (up to 1000 °C) and constant discharge temperature; therefore no limit of e. g. steam production parameters (pressure and temperature)
  • Proven storage material since 30 years with very high energy density resulting in smaller footprint
  • Environmental friendly storage system: no toxic, flammable or hazardous materials

The Financial Benefits

  • GHM enables renewable energy-based process heat that has no fuel costs and is therefore permanently price-stable
  • GHM enables a cost-neutral transformation of process heat
  • GHM has very low CO2-avoidance costs, far below hydrogen technologies for process heat, today and in the long term
