Electrified Thermal Solutions, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology spinoff, is revolutionizing industrial heating by converting renewable electricity into high-temperature heat. This provides a sustainable alternative to #fossilfuels for industries like #steel, #cement, #glass, and #chemicals. Co-founders Joey Kabel(CTO) and Daniel Stack (CEO) have developed electrically conductive bricks that generate and store heat. Unlike traditional electric heaters that quickly burn out at high temperatures, these innovative bricks can withstand extreme conditions without degradation. The impact of this technology is significant, as the industrial sector is responsible for nearly 25% of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. Electrified Thermal Solutions' approach, powered by renewable energy, has the potential to cut these emissions in half, according to a 2023 report by the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES). The bricks, created by altering the recipe of metal oxides, are both cost-effective and durable. They also offer efficient energy storage, ensuring a reliable heat supply even when renewable sources are intermittent. Recent grants, including up to $35 million from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), are propelling the company forward. This funding will help replace natural gas boilers at a chemical plant, reducing emissions by nearly 70%. With commercial-scale deployments on the horizon and enhanced manufacturing capabilities, Electrified Thermal Solutions is well-positioned to lead the transformation of industrial heating. Electrified Thermal Solutions is committed to decarbonizing the industry with electrified heat, aiming to create a more sustainable future. Their innovative approach and robust support signal a significant shift in how industrial processes can be powered, contributing to the global fight against climate change. https://lnkd.in/gfePn9vV

🌿 Embracing Sustainability: Vapor Absorption Machines (VAMs) in Cooling Solutions 🌀 While traditional vapor compression chillers dominate, Vapor Absorption Machines (VAMs) offer a sustainable alternative, particularly for applications seeking energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Here's a closer look at how VAMs work and their advantages: 🔧 Operating Principle: Unlike electric-driven compression, VAMs use heat (from steam, hot water, or combustion) to create cooling through a chemical absorption process. This not only reduces energy consumption but also enables use of renewable heat sources like solar or biomass. 🌍 Environmental Benefits: By utilizing waste heat and renewable sources, VAMs lower reliance on grid electricity and cut greenhouse gas emissions. Their closed-loop water system also minimizes water usage compared to traditional cooling towers. 📈 Applications: Ideal for district cooling projects, industrial processes, and facilities like hospitals and data centers, VAMs excel in environments requiring reliable and efficient cooling solutions. 🔍 Considerations: While VAMs may have higher initial costs and require regular maintenance, advancements in technology are enhancing their efficiency and affordability, driving wider adoption. 🔮 Future Outlook: With a growing focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, VAMs are poised for expanded use. Ongoing innovations in design and materials are paving the way for more accessible and effective cooling solutions. Curious about how VAMs can benefit your cooling needs?

#EnergyEfficiency paybacks have significantly decreased with existing technologies, with the vast majority now under 1 year. #Electrification is reaching a tipping point, particularly in Hard to abate sectors where waste heat recovery offers a golden opportunity. Economic feasibility is on the rise, and cases with positive net present value are creating new avenues for growth. Integrating #EnergyEfficiency into #Electrification is crucial. When it comes to #Decarbonization in heavy and process industries, a tailored approach is necessary as there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

We can learn a lot from the past, and in this case, the ancient technology of firebricks may just be the key to revolutionizing energy storage and reducing carbon emissions in industrial manufacturing. Traditionally used to store heat, modern firebricks can now conduct electricity, offering a cost-effective alternative to batteries for storing renewable energy. Industrial manufacturers contribute significantly to global CO2 emissions, and transitioning to firebrick-based energy storage could save over $1.2 trillion by 2050. With companies like Electrified Thermal Solutions and Rondo Energy pioneering these innovations, firebricks could play a crucial role in the global shift towards sustainable energy. #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #IndustrialInnovation #EnergyStorage
