Keeping the heat on: Antora’s plan to solve industry’s renewable problem | SOSV Climate Tech

Heavy industry uses electricity to generate heat for countless processes, making steel and cement not the least. Decarbonizing industry depends on electrification, and renewable power sources like wind and solar are the obvious path, but there is one problem: the intermittency of renewable power sources. Andrew Ponec’s Antora aims to fix that with thermal batteries made from giant carbon blocks superheated to 2,750 degrees Fahrenheit by renewable sources.
