Lower-Cost Industrial Heat
The Challenge
Industrial Heat Is Expensive and Volatile
Many industrial facilities rely on fossil fuels for process heat. Fuel prices fluctuate, supply risks increase, and decarbonization targets add pressure to reduce emissions.
Element16 addresses these challenges by separating when energy is purchased from when heat is used.
The Solution
Thermal Storage Built for Industry
Element16 converts low-cost electricity into stored thermal energy. The system then delivers that energy as process heat when your facility needs it.
This approach allows facilities to:
Reduce exposure to fuel price volatility
Capture low-cost electricity periods
Maintain reliable heat supply
Support decarbonization goals
Applications
Where It Works Best
Food Processing
High-temperature steam and hot water for cooking, pasteurization, and cleaning operations.
Chemical Manufacturing
Process heat for distillation, separation, and reaction temperature control.
Industrial Materials
Thermal energy for drying, curing, and material processing applications.
General Manufacturing
Space heating, water heating, and supplemental process heat across industries.
Benefits
Operational and Economic Advantages
Lower Heat Cost
Purchase energy when electricity prices are lowest and avoid peak pricing. Reduce dependence on volatile fuel markets and create predictable operating costs.
Reliable Heat Supply
Ensure continuous operation with on-demand heat dispatch. Storage systems provide backup capacity and reduce exposure to fuel supply disruptions.
Simplified System Design
Pre-engineered, containerized modules integrate with existing infrastructure. Minimal site modifications and faster deployment compared to custom builds.
Project Evaluation
Every Facility Is Different
Projects begin by understanding your facility’s heat demand profile, operating schedule, and electricity pricing structure. Our team evaluates technical feasibility and potential economic impact before moving forward with system design.
