Hot sand for a cooler climate: scalable sand-based heat storage cuts industrial emissions by up to 90%

PRESS - One fifth of the world’s total energy consumption comes from industrial heat production. Of this, 80 percent is still generated using fossil fuels such as oil and gas. Industrial heat production is one of the largest and hardest-to-solve sources of carbon emissions worldwide. Finnish cleantech startup TheStorage has developed a solution that could cut energy costs by up to 70% and carbon emissions by up to 90%. The system converts renewable electricity into heat, stores it in sand, and delivers it for on-demand industrial process heat.
