The Energy Transition Changemakers award is based on the innovation and scalability of approaches used to overcome project barriers. The award was handed out in a ceremony held at
"This is a fantastic recognition for the Kyoto team, for its hard work, innovative ideas and leading position. This will be noticed internationally by potential customers and business partners. It should also highlight the groundbreaking and internationally recognized technology that has been developed by a Norwegian company," says
Innovate and scalable projects
The Energy Transition Changemakers initiative aims to foster private sector collaboration in delivering innovative and scalable decarbonization projects globally and demonstrate solutions to help enable and accelerate the energy transition.
Awards were handed out in four categories: Renewables,
The winners were chosen by an international committee of sector experts from leading organizations.
The need to decarbonize process heat
"The award highlights what we have pointed out since starting
"For this to happen, we need cost-efficient and industrial-scale solutions for storing energy from intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar. When the energy will eventually be output as heat or steam, it makes sense to store it as heat, and that is what we do with our Heatcube,"
Heatcube can be configured with storage capacities from 16 MWh to over 96 MWh, with a discharge effect for each Heatcube of up to 20 MW. It can generate steam with a temperature of 170 to 400 degrees Celsius. Very little energy is lost in the process, as Heatcube has a round-trip efficiency of 93 percent.
The first commercial installation of Heatcube is operational at the

About
Heat accounts for two thirds of industrial energy consumption. Traditionally, nearly all of it is based on fossil fuels. Kyoto Group's Heatcube, a thermal energy storage (TES) solution, provides a sustainable and cost-effective alternative by capturing and storing abundant but variable energy from sources such as solar and wind.
